Berserker asked:
I applied for the loss prevention associate job opening. I wanted to know if you need experience in order to get hired. I have no experience but a Security guard license and completed training course. Will i need experience to get the loss prevention job at Kmart?

Just like most jobs they probably will train you for the position. So after they teach you the basics, play a game of football with your buddies so you can practice on tackling people.

There is usually no experience needed for that position. Experience helps - but isn’t required.

I don’t think so. Lots of people start out a kmart.
Good luck.

As with every position, your employability depends on whom you are up against and what job you are applying for. In your case, I would think that KMart would be looking for a little more than some rube off the street, but I would think that your training and license that you should be pretty well qualified. But who knows who else is applying.

I used to work for kmart and I can tell you first hand that NO you do not need experience to work there. They actually prefer to hire new workers without experience because they can train them easier on their store policies. They look for someone who is responsible, committed to their job, and a hard worker. If you have those qualities and are eager to learn you definitely have a shot at getting hired! Good luck.

No.
But I can think of a lot Higher class jobs that hire For loss prevention than K-mart.
Start at the top of the food chain and then work down to K-mart.
Cause if you start at K-mart you will be locking yourself in to a k-mart type of store.
Besides the Stores that serve a richer clientele have better clothes and better discounts for employees on those cloths.

Basically, the LP associate simply walks around the store and performs a variety of merchandise audits on paper. No license is necessary - Sears will not give you training so you can carry a gun or arrest an obvious shoplifter. My understanding is that, if hired, you will be sent to another store to work under a current LP associate and after you make three “recoveries” (identify three situations of shoplifting or vendor fraud) that you will then be transferred to your own store to perform those same functions without any oversight. Ultimately, though, you will be doing a lot of paperwork and have extremely limited authority when it comes to apprehending criminals. If additional thoughts, visit and register at and discuss the LP position with current Kmart/Sears employees. It’s a very helpful site.
