    This was a very kind, thoughtful & sweet video. It sounds like reasonable advice although I'm not an expert in any of this, being currently employed, but I'm over 50 so the title caught my eye. I hope you're successful & happy with your role at Target. 😊

    During holidays, Target doesn't give enough hours and common to get 10 hrs a week.

    • @itslisawright

    ALDI's would have been a better choice. They pay much higher and have better benefits and can get more hours. Growing company. Retail is getting hit hard.

    I quit a stable teaching job at the age of 58. That was 2 years ago. I couldn't live with myself for what was being done to contact time with students.
    Anyhow, I went into a completely different industry - designing learning and teaching digital packages and loved it. Sadly, I got requested for another team and have not enjoyed that.
    I'm 60 now, heading to 61 this December and I have an interview for a different job again on Tuesday.
    Basically, I'm not old enough not to be desperate for work and I can leave if I'm not happy.

    Congrats 🎉 indeed is where I go to look for jobs and I'm in my 50's, threw them I have had several jobs, they do work I'm a living testimony to that. That's how I found my current position been there 4 years now , indeed is how I keep an eye on my old employer who laid me off, I actually found out they were hiring and I applied, they hired me back but I turned them down because indeed had found me something even better. Lol 😂

    Congratulations on finding new employment that, is also close to your home. During the early 1980's, I used to work part-time for a retail store in the South similar to K-Mart. However, I never heard of a payroll title called "fulfillment". So, please tell us what you do each day at Target? (smile ... smile).

    • @itslisawright

      @@itslisawright Thank you, for replying to my question. Back in the 1980's when, I worked for the K-Mart like store had to set up product shelves and then stock them with merchandise. Plus, I also had to support our Lay-A-Way section. So, I know what you mean about getting in a lot of daily exercise (smile ... smile).

    Indeed isn't helpful for me. There are a lot of ghost jobs on it in my area, and I've run into ageism on several occasions.

    • @itslisawright
      @itslisawright  Місяць тому +1

      So sorry. Thank you for letting me know. Good topic for me to look into and discuss in the future. You triggered some questions for me to dive into.

    • @Madamblue
      @Madamblue 13 днів тому

      ​@itslisawright ageism is REAL! I am 58 years old, and I KNOW that I was released from my company due to my age. Many tenure employees were let go. It's going on nine months and I will probably lose my home after Christmas.😢( A lot of companies keep jobs up as if they're looking because they're required to pretend that they're hiring)

    • @Madamblue

      Same situation.😢 no savings left from having to care for my parents and almost 1 year since my company layoff. I have no family support system left. My savings is gone therefore I am now mostly living on Credit cards hoping for a response to be paid a Livable wage. I am intelligent and able to multitask multiple software programs and use dual monitors. I have my own equipment and yet I still can't even find a customer service position for $18 that will respond.
      The scam jobs can be time consuming as they are getting better at wasting our time. Typical ageism and ghosting.😢

      Hello. Thank you for the questions. I have past videos discussing this, however its part-time, Minimum wage, and Fulfillment is pulling orders for online pick up and shipping customers.

    Congrats. I prefer customer service people who are native to the country and area they are working in, so I respect a business that hires experienced people like you. I lose respect for a business if they hire only cheap labour (teenagers and immigrants who don't know anything about the products and don't care, or they don't speak English).
