I am a ACP Alum, and I'm looking to relocate to NYC to be closer to my fiance. I have experience in both inventory management and buying. I am wondering if there is anyone in the retail industry who is willing to network and point me in the right direction.

There is definitely an interest. Let me know if you would like to set up a call.
Any interest in the fashion industry as a buyer?
Jeff,
Thanks for replying. I'm in the middle of figuring what opportunities are out there for me with sears in NYC. I think it will just take time to ask the right questions and get connected to the right people. I've been trying to meet up with at least one person every trip I take out there. Thank you for your insight and willingness to help.
Alexander,
1st the obvious questions, have you checked internally at Sears? Have you asked the suppliers you work with if they could network for you? They are probably in the Big Box stores and have deep relationships. Verizon, Home Depot, Lowes all have strong veteran programs that I would contact. Your SHC veteran community can probably help. I believe it is next week that Hire the Heroes is have a Chicago job fair. See what retailer will be attending and network through that channel. Companies such as Wal-Mart always participate.
Yvonne Thanks for responding and offering your assistance. I would appreciate any feedback you might have in addition to forwarding my resume.
Thanks,
Alex
