Highly skilled loss prevention professional with district and multi-unit w/ exceptional internal, ORC and audit experience

Can honestly say this is the longest period of time I have gone without having a AP / LP position. I'm told my resume is impressive along with my results with previous companies. With that said I keep losing positions to other candidates that don't have the proven record that I have. I can only assume why but this isn't the place to list those rants. So here is a question. What other positions have any of you transitioned into outside of AP / LP? So far I have applied to store manager, OPs manager, inventory control and assistant manager positions without an interview. Has retail changed that much or are they moving on from the old dogs for new tricks. Last if your in the Northern NY area and have a store in need, because your shrink is out of control or need a culture change within your team to increase sales and reduce theft let me know. #diversityandinclusion #lossprevention #lpjobs #assetprotection #retailjobs #jobmarket #retailtheft #shirnk #inventorycontrol

Hi Robert, Wish I had advice to give. However I’m in the same boat. I’ve tried transitioning to Security, retail management, heck even TSA. I receive the same feedback you do. And often get the automated “Dear John” letters within an hour of applying to positions I’m clearly qualified for. I wish you the best of luck in your hunt. It’s not easy.

Robert if you're willing to relocate, we have several positions open and coming open.

Following for community insight and collaboration! But it seems there is plenty of positions out there for those who can relocate, but that is usually a small market of candidates. As a father to a child who is non neurotypical and attends a specialized school for her learning/development, the inability to pick up and move drastically affects my marketability in the retail world. Hope you find something that supports you and your life soon!

I went through an assistant Store Leader program with Kroger about a year ago to get my current role but I too miss my loss prevention/Asset Protection roles

It can be a real struggle to find the right fit in the LP/AP field, especially when you are unable to relocate. I transferred from AP roles to Product Management in Technology and found that my interview skills and natural driver to solve problems gave me a leg up...that said the searching was still months on the hunt. Keep using social media for things like this, work your contacts, and be open to potentially unusual opportunities. Be well and good luck!

I hear you. I had to leave an AP role due to restructure recently and took an Armed Security contract with Dept. of Homeland Security
