Store Closures

In keeping the theme of having a strong start to 2020, we looked into Major Retailers who closed stores in 2019 and continuing to close store in 2020. We compiled a few of the over 40 stores that had commission sales associates or ideal career changers:

GAP, Barneys, Tesla, Chicos, Lord and Taylor, Nordstrom (They have some awesome sales people. Rated as one of the best for customer service), Fred's (The have pharmacies. Maybe career changers for pharmacists), Macys, Signet Jewlers (Kays, Jared, Zales), Z Gallerie

Message to HR Departments: "I noticed many stores will be closing. I would love to help your employees find a new home, as quickly as possible so there is less disruption in their lives. Do you have time for a cup of coffee or quick meeting next week?" 

Message to Candidates: "Good Morning / Afternoon {Name},
I hope this finds you doing well! I had noticed some recent articles discussing closures of a few of your stores in the area. I would love to connect over a cup of coffee or just a casual conversation about how I can help some of your key employees find new roles and opportunities. I find giving them a head start puts a little less stress on them and their families when the time comes. 
I will be in your area on Tues and Friday next week. Do you have some availability those days?"
