“I remember thinking that it would be the same as those other career/resume websites. Believe it or not, I was contacted within two business days with a list of employers looking for seasonal help. I was asked on an interview the same day I applied, I went for an interview and three days later, I was offered a part-time seasonal position with a major department store; and doing what I enjoy. When filling out the application for employment, in the section for how did you find out about us...I was proud to write I found out about the job from retirementjobs.com via AARP. I have enjoyed the new job and have been receiving many compliments from my customers. Thanks … for brightening up my retirement future.”
