Not sure if this is even allowed? Mods: please delete if it's breaking the rules.

So I'm a 50 year old who has 25 years of serving and bartending experience. It's a career for me. Found out,last night, that I'm losing my job due to the restaurant shutting down. Not due to lack of business but because the longtime owners couldn't find a buyer for the business because the 100 year old building isn't structurally sound. We're closing in two weeks.

It's the first time in 15+ years I actually have to drop off resumes and apply for jobs. I have a few questions...

Regarding resumes, what are you looking for these days? Are we still doing bullet points under each restaurant, explaining duties performed or is the name of the restaurant and the dates i worked there enough? What makes a resume jump out to you?

Also, I know most places have online applications/resume uploads these days. Is it now frowned upon to show up unannounced to talk to a hiring manager/owner? Obviously, I know not to come in during the busy periods. I'm used to pounding the pavement to get hired so the idea of doing it from a laptop at a coffee shop makes me feel like I could be missing out on opportunities. At the same time, I want to follow the current protocol.

Any other advice you can think of, feel free to drop it. Thanks!

Last day is August 29th. RIP to an East Memphis institution.

I understand the laws changed on July 1st. It was my understanding that they could no longer be sold at grocery stores but they’d still be available at liquor stores as long as they were 30mgs or lower.

Went to three different liquor stores tonight. All three had been selling them after July 1st but all three had pulled them from their shelves. Nobody working at any of them could give me an answer to why they were no longer available.
