Bit of a pointless thread but anyway.

I've just found out thismorning that the company i work for is closing down the shop i work in, inlcudung a lot more as well. Right now i mainly feel angered with them rather than shocked, i always said that our shop would close sooner than everyone used to make out but i never thought it would be this soon ( ive only been there 2 years, 3 this october) There policy on this kind of thing is usually to find you another store to work from but having already shut another 2 stores last week all the vacancies they had around this are have been taken which pretty much means as it stands that we're out of a job.
I dont have any proper qaulifications or anything and the part that worries me is that i wont be able to find another suitable job where i can use what knowledge i have to benefit me so to speak. I am quite angry that they arre doing this but i do understand slightly why it may have to be done.

Dunno why im posting ths prob could just do with some advice...

    Also if you've been there 2-3 years that's a decent amount of real work experience you've got under your belt. Think of all the skills you now have that you didn't before. Try and keep things pleasant in the workplace so that you can walk out of there with a glowing reference that should help you land another job.
