I’m a recently laid off Party City employee and as my store is winding down, I’m looking forward my next career opportunity.
Just some background on me: I have more than 10 years of retail/ customer service experience under my belt and come to enjoy it. I just have that sort of social, bubbly personality. But, at this point in my life, I need something a bit more stable and long term. You know, better pay, benefits career growth opportunities, etc. That’s the one thing that these jobs have never provided me, no matter how much I like them. Any advice on where a former retail employee can get a fresh start?

If you want something more stable, would suggest something tech or medical. (Ex: hospital billing or scheduling, sales operations could also be a good fit if you have prior experience with inventory and placing orders.)

I know recruiters at my company look at LI when people are sharing that they've been laid of by PC. Please consider posting this on there, connecting with retailers in your area that you would be interested and go and look at their people and reach out to connect to their recruiters.
