First of all I want to thank all of you for your wonderful help during these
rough times these past 3 years.But i have got a job interview tomorrow on the 18th of July and this is my first interview in years.I brought a new outfit.I am not wearing my favorite perfume.I am wearing no makeup and I am getting my hair done for this.The doctor here want me to return to work and i can only work 15 hours a week.I cant go over a certain amount due to my Social Security.I havent worked in such a long time,but I must
admit work has helped me and i can afford things.Kramer my cat has been very sick and the last time I took her to the vet it cost me 700.00 and i simply cant afford it.She is resting now on my bed and is sound asleep.I will admit cats have got a good life.Now getting back to work.
This man wants a resume.And that is creating a problem for me.You see
all of the companies that I have worked for no longer exist.I have worked
in retail since 1967 and those stores do not exist in New York anymore.
So what shall I put on this resume? I like short stories and I write them in my spare time..but I was told that this isnt necessary today.They want to know to your work experience.Is there any CEO out there who can help me with this resume? I am at my wits end and what do you put on it?
The next question I was asked is this"What do you want to do 5 years
from now?" Does anyone know how to answer.My doctor is rooting for me and he thinks I am making a big deal over this question and resume.
Please help.Vader.Work helps.

I'm not a CEO, but, if I were interviewing someone, I'd be more interested in the SKILLS they acquired than the fact that the company they worked for no longer exists. Put the SKILLS you knew on the resume, and talk up your skills in the interview.
What do you want to do 5 years from now: Is this a question that was asked in the online application? If so, I think this question is directed toward younger applicants; it's just a generic question, to determine a person's ambitions. You could always say "be healthy and stay above ground", but they probably wouldn't appreciate that. I wouldn't worry about that question.
15 hours a week is nothing. You'll blaze through it, and have some extra money in your pocket.
Put most recent and then write allthe experience you have from that certain job. then go to the next and so on.
I actuall start my resume with my skills (after all the normal info)
Education and then work history.
To make my resume shorter after the first 4 or 5 jobs I give highlights of other jobs, like cashier, truck driver, shipping and receiving, material handler, and so on..
Like koolman I am not a ceo, but hope this helps.
Good luck:)
