OP, this looks like my inbox right now too.

I've been in retail a very long time and am out of a job right now. The retail industry is shrinking due to a bunch of shit; online and e-commerce taking over a lot of stuff, stores having to close because of rampant theft, etc.

As to what the other anon said, a lot of the time it's knowing people, sure. But a good resume will stand out no matter what. I'd say focus on that if you haven't already. Go look up some protips about how to better feature your specific skillset.
