There's nothing wrong with getting this sort of job... it's like any other temp job. I graduated from college in May and have been job hunting ever since, with little more than a few callbacks that turned into nothing. When I finally started applying to retail positions, they were also hard to come by. I have one retail job that gives me about 12 minimum wage hours a week (ya freakin hoo), so I got another.

This job is a way for me to at least get some money... even if only for 2 weeks.

Looks like somebody did it for you.

Hilco is the only liquidation company I've ever dealt with, and I can tell you from 6 weeks of experience that it's a damned shame they'll be doing so well in this economy. They're the biggest lying, cheating, cheapskate sons of *****es I know of short of politics.

I've noticed around here the employees who stay on through the end of the closing are quite frequently pregnant women who are planning on taking some time off from working anyway. So the other full-timers seek jobs, the pregnant woman helps the store close out, and then she goes stay-at-home for a while.

nice

seems maybe it's the liquidators looking for some short termers maybe?

They don't have any employees to take the sign down. Obviously.

At this point in history, all jobs are temporary anyhow.

I think this is the brand new one in Macon at River Crossing. It was only open a day or so before the banko was announced.
Pathetic.

If this doesn't sum up the current employment market in the US, I don't know what does. It's the ultimate in "At Will" employment. LOL
