I wasn't going to say, but the store was Vera Bradley. I really didn't think it was age specific.

With your work experience and education after reviewing your resume you could have appeared to be a threat to the manager's job security. That does happen.

I would try Belk, Dillard's and the larger stores. Of course right now isn't a good time with retailers having to lay-off seasonal workers. Don't give up ... I hope you find something.

O.K. so I applied for a job in a small store in Southpark mall to be the third key holder. Open, close the store, take care of customers, etc. I received an e-mail that said that I wasn't qualified for this job. What?

I am just curious if my years of experience show my age or what the deal is.
Its crazy .and then we find out this same company is hiring people who arent even suppose to be in this country
