Walmart Employment? I've applied several times at the three Walmarts in our town, but I've never been called. Is there possibly something I'm answering wrong when I'm filling out the applications? The application is done on a computer there at the store, and you don't actually get to see anyone unless you are called in for an interview.
Would three hot checks affect my chances of employment at walmart home office? I had a second interview today at walmart home office for a customer service representative. I have went to court for three hot checks in the state of arkansas and am afraid its going to affect my chances on employment. They were just misdemeanors and I am in the process of paying them off. When I filled out the background check form I disclosed that they were pending...I am freaking out! I need this job. The interviews went great though...

When applying for a job like Walmart do you have to put down your entire employment history? Just curious; I am filling out an application there for the umpteenth time and I was just wondering if I could get away with editing it a little, or if they check? I already have a decent job at bath and body works, but I don't get a lot of hours, and I need a job like Walmart to fill in the gaps. I was completely honest on my Bath and Body Works application, but my job history is so long I just hate going through it every time that I apply.

Why on earth is the Walmart employment application so in-depth? I was looking for part-time work and thought.. well why not Walmart. Then I went online and went through the application process and was shocked. It was more intense than Home Depot. I was expecting to just fill out my details and employment history. Of course, I never got a call. Then I watch the quality of the current employees when shopping there as they ignore customers at the Jewelry kiosk. Don't even get me started with the cashiers. Ever tried to get a propane tank refilled there? Anyway, anyone know why they went with an employment application process that demanding for a job that pays barely above minimum wage? Todd, I don't recall ever mentioning that Walmart was attempting to obtain employment with me. That seems very far fetched and it amazes me that your reading comprehension was so far off that you quelled that from my text. Thank you for your incredibly helpfull input however.

walmart pre-employment alcohol test? I know walmart tests for alcohol because I've done it before (and passed).

Or if they just use the traditional alcohol tests which detects 6-24 hours? Thanks.
Employment at walmart? I just started to work at walmart and i have a crappy job as an unloader i currently have my Associates of Arts degree. And in december i will have my bachelors in business. does anyone know if that will help me get a better job in the company
Question about Walmart pre-employment drug test? Okay, on Tuesday, I was called in for an interview at Walmart. I took the interview, answered the questions, and as soon as I left, they called me in again for my management interview. They called my references and showed me how much I'd be making and explained my hours, then sent me to the clinic for a drug test. Today is Friday and I still haven't heard back, which worries me. About a week and a half ago, (maybe longer) I had a horrible cough. My grandmother gave me some of her promethazine codeine cough syrup. I couldn't stop coughing or sleep unless I took some, so I ended up taking the entire bottle within a week's time. Like I said, this was at least a week, if not longer before I had this interview at Walmart. I exercise daily and drink the recommended amount of water as well. So what I'm wondering is- Should I be worried? I don't do any kind of drug, and the cough syrup was a one time thing. I would have gotten my own but, irony, no job, so no insurance. Plus, I didn't know I'd be called in any time soon. Thanks for reading this. I didn't know it would be this long. I'm a worrier though. :/ Well, thanks guys. I actually passed and got the job, so I'm guessing I just got lucky. Regardless- Lesson learned.

Employment question - WalMart? My nephew has been working at WalMart for over a year. He is supposedly a part time employee BUT - they have him working a 40 hour week - they won't give him benefits - he is training full time hires that get paid more than he does How is this justified and how does WalMart get away with this?
How much weight does a credit check have in gaining employment? I was wondering two things. First, what is the purpose of a credit check for employment at places like WalMart? I understand background checks, but a credit check? Also, if I do not have good credit, does that mean I cannot be hired for places like this? I just really don't get the point of it if everything else is fine why a credit check matters. Please explain.
Question about Employment at Walmart & Job Offer? I received a job offer and verified it before being given my paperwork to go and get a drug test conducted. I've never done drugs, so I know I'll be clean and I completed the drug test right after and they said that walmart would be receiving it in 5-10 minutes afterwards. By being given this job offer, does that confirm that I have the position as long as my drug test and background check are in good standing? I also have no record. I'm sitting here awaiting a call back, and hoping that my job offer confirmed I will be called for orientation in a few days. I just do not want to sit here and wait and not get a call back. I figured they were really interested and are needing people. I had two interviews the first day I went up there, went up there today for the job offer and drug test location information. LOL, this will be my last questions about Walmart...I think!

Will a drug related misdemeanor affect employment at Walmart? I am 17 years old and I have two misdemeanor charges under my belt; one for possession of paraphernalia, and another one for an MIP. In the past seven months I have completely turned my life around and sobered up. I applied for a job at Walmart and was offered the job, but of course they have to do a background check. Since I am drug-free, I know I passed my drug test. My question is will my past mistakes ruin my chances of getting the job at Walmart? The tricky thing about my situation is that the managers at Walmart have seen how persistent I have been about getting a job and have seen part of my character/ethic. However, they are not the ones who do the background check, but they send it off to someone higher up on the chain. So, basically the person doing the background check knows nothing about me other than what they can dig up, while it is completely out of the managers hands. So I am hoping/praying for the best!
Did Walmart deny my employment? I applied at Walmart 2 weeks ago and they said i got the job but needed to do the drug test n backround check. passed the drugtest. I have a marijuana possession misdemeanor i admitted to on the backround check. its been 2 weeks and i got a call saying the backround check place is sending me a letter that i need to sign and send back. is this a letter saying im not getting the job? the manager he said they had a question but i dont know if he was lying or knew really,. i'm really worried cuz i really want and need this job. any legit answers would be apprecaited.

If so, will I get the same amount as a full-time employee or will I get a percentage? What about holiday pay (thanksgiving/xmas)...do I qualify to receive that yet? I know the bonus depends on your store's revenue, but what range can I expect the bonus to be if qualify for one?
Pre-Employment offer from walmart urine test malfunction? Well heres my story. I went in for an interview today. I got offered a position. Well as you know its contiengent on a drug screen. I had just went to the restroom about 2 hours before. So I figure I could go when I got to the testing place. Well not so much. So i come in and I peed alittle but not enough for them to use. They offered me 5 glasses of water that were in coffee cups and I am a big guy and knew that it wasnt going to work for me. I waited for 3 hours and still did not produce a drop after the little bit. Is there any walmart employees that have experienced this and they let you retest.
If you don't know the exact dates of prior employment when filling out a job application, what should you do? I am filling out a job application for Walmart online and on the Employment History part, it asks for start date and end date of a prior job. Well, the job I'm putting down was in 2005, and I don't remember the exact dates I was hired and fired. And I can't call to ask because I left on some not very good terms. Will I be in trouble if I put down incorrect dates? They won't let you leave it blank.

What Are The Answer To The "Walmart Pre-employment Test Questions"? I was applying online at Walmart.com/careers (Hiring Center thingy) and near the end of the application I had to take a Pre-employment Test to finish the application. I was wondering if anybody toke it and know any of the answers to the questions. The test asks questions like "what would you do if a customer goes on a rampage or has a panic attack"? Then you will have chose a answer A, B, C or D. In my opinion I think these questions are ridiculous if you don't chose the *BEST* answer you won't even have chance to getting hired.
Does it bother you that shopping at Walmart promotes human rights violations in China? It is widely known that Chinese leaders intend for high employment to divert the Chinese people's attention from their lack of freedom to happier pocketbook issues. Americans have generally decried the lack of human rights and freedoms worldwide. Yet, we flock to Walmart to buy cheap Chinese-made goods that promote the violation of those rights and freedoms. Does that bother you when you're paying $1 for something that should cost $2?
How do past walmart employees get their 2006 w-2 forms? I worked for walmart in 2006. I tried walmartbenefits.com but it does not recognize my past employment. I also tried walmart.com and was not successful. The number that site gave me 1-700-925-6278 was not even associated with walmart. I was wondering if there was any other way to go about retrieving my w-2 information?

Is there any merit to stating that you have a bachelor's degree when filling out t a Walmart application? Ok, so the economy got bad and I need to get additional employment to make ends meet.

What criminal history information is available if the Target Corporation ran a background employment check? I know there are federal and state laws governing this issue. I'm wondering exactly what information is disclosed during a background check. I'm asking because I was a former police officer who got charged with two felonies and two misdemeanors (domestic incident) a month ago. The charges are false and are being fought with an attorney. Don't wanna go into too many details, but all charges will be dropped in the end. The victim doesn't want to testify, and never did. No victim, no case. Anyways, I know that if I applied to be another police officer or work for a Police Agency, they can run a special background check that will show the arrest, but if a private corporation say Walmart, or Target were to run my background for an employment check, only Felony Convictions would show up right? Or would the arrest show up as well? I know the application only says to list convictions, so im not listing anything. I just really want this job!! Pays very well with good benefits! :) Anyone?
Does Walmart or any grocery stores in Maryland hire 14 year olds? Im 14 and looking for employment..and i want to know if Walmart or any grocery stores hire 14 year olds. Thanks!!
Employment options for DEAF people under the age of 18? I am 17 1/2 years old- old enough for most jobs open to high-school students. I am also very smart and capable. I can do manual work. Problem? I'm deaf. While my speech and comprehension is generally good enough to get by most of the time, I don't want to work at somewhere like a cashier job at Taco Bell or a Walmart's helper, where I'm required to talk to several different people all day long. I'd REALLY like to find a part-time job but I have no idea where to look- it seems that the only places that have job openings for high-school students are restaurants or stores- and in there, I'll likely be placed as a waitress or a clerk/cashier... jobs that I don't think I would do very well at. If anyone could come up with other ideas of employment that are better suited for deaf high-schoolers, I would appreciate it very much. Nope, I don't live anywhere near Ontario, sorry. Yeah, I thought about working at a local animal shelter but I don't think there's one nearby that is hiring.
How often/much do employers check your employment history when applying for a job? For low level positions or assistant manager positions like say at a walmart or movie theater or something, do employers usually actually check with your past employers? Do they go through any kind of actual computer check? Like what if I worked at a job that might not show up on some computer program but my old boss could attest to me working there?
How long does an employer keep your employment on file? If you quit a job on bad terms such as no call no show, and its been 7+ years, does the employer still have your information on record incase you wanted to apply again?

Will I ever be able to apply there again without them knowing my history as a teen?

Do most companies really look for marijuana in drug tests? Two friends of mine had drug tests for pre employment at Walmart, both of them smoke, a lot, and they passed the drug test.

Walmart: Two week notice to avoid coaching my best option? I've only worked at Walmart for a couple of months as a Truck Crew Associate with the idea of moving into another department as well as moving up at a later time. The problem is I've been declined for a period leave due to holidays approaching, so the unexcused absents will result in a verbal coaching. To my understanding, a coaching would freeze me as a Truck Crew Associate for a year. After looking at my options, to leave Walmart with an untarnished employment or stay as Walmart's backroom lackey for at least a year, I've decided my best option is to put in my two week notice to avoid the coaching. I would like to point out that I work at Walmart due to convenience of location and stayed as long as I did with the hopes of moving up in getting supervisor experience. My question are: 1) Does my logic have any loop holes in it? 2) How do I submit my two week notice? 3) What is the procedure of leaving with a two week notice at Walmart? 4) What is the time frame of being rehired at that Walmart location? 5) What is the time frame of being rehired at another Walmart store location? 6) What is the rehire procedure? Sorry, I may have missed some details while typing out the question. Obviously if I could go to work I would, but I can't. The question was mainly about how I was already declined my request of unpaid leave of absence and was informed that I would get a coaching when I miss those days. After re-reading my question the "point out" sentence does sound arrogant and not needed. I believe at the time of writing it I wanted to basically say I don't need Walmart but I'd like to stay if it wasn't for being frozen as a Truck Crew member. Well, Black Friday is almost two months after the days I asked off for but apperently that close enough to decline the requested days. Poor Planning? Probbly, but not in the case you seem to be insisiting on. ... have no idea what your trying to ask in the last three questions. I would assume its not hard to find another retail job during the holidays.

Random drug test after the pre-employment drug test? I quit smoking marijuana about two weeks ago. I'm going to apply at Target and/or Walmart in the next week or two.

Help;where I can find info. about the concept of employee screaning such as what walmart has at the kiosk..?

I'm worried about my pre-employment drug test? I took a alcohol/drug test for a position at Walmart, the night before I had a few drinks not realizing on the same day as my interview they'd test me. What I'm wondering is would the test show me as positive for alcohol even if I woke up without a hangover but was slightly drunk? The reason why I'm worried is I'm 18 (and obviously that would mean I'm drinking underage) and I really want this job. It was a urine test for further clarification.
What kind of jobs can a 14-year-old get? I live in oregon, I'm at the minimum employment age and I want a job (despite the down economy and the already lost jobs). and I don't mean by mowing the lawn, babysitting, walking dogs, "lemonade" and the like.

Is Walmart bad? Everything is cheaper. They have the $4 prescription program. You can buy anything all at one place. They save us lots of money. Employment there is voluntary, no one is forced. And there are worse jobs. So why is Walmart getting such a bum rap?

Homemaker - How to explain employment gaps on job resume? (AT&T Call center)? I've been a "homemaker" (no children, engaged - not yet married) for the past 8 years, and I am 27 years old. Before which, I held a job at a restaurant for a couple of months when I was 19. Since, I have worked occasionally - worked for a research company call center in 2003 for a month or so, until relocating across the country. Then, in 2006 I had a temporary position at Walmart on a remodel crew for 2 months. And, worked for a convenience store as a cashier for 2 months. In between, i've been a "Homemaker" and did occasional housecleaning and childcare work (self employed, didn't make enough to file taxes). Will my lack of steady employment create a problem as far as obtaining employment? I have applied with AT&T/Cingular wireless, for the Customer Service/Call center position. I have an appointment this week to do a formal application, and hoping to get an interview. I would like to bring a resume with me, but am not sure how to explain my lapse in employment? Friends who have worked at AT&T have told me so long as I have customer service experience, I will have no problem getting a job there. But? Oh, and a note, I am not planning to stay for 2 months and then leave, this one is a job I would like to have for a long while. =) SAMANTHA: I do NOT need to explain my life to you. You sounds angry and bitter that you HAVE to work. I am so sorry you hate your life so badly, dear. My fiance prefers that I NOT work, and with certain cirumstances, it would have been VERY difficult for us to both have held jobs - thankfully, the situation has changed now. I am in college pursuing a degree, so I DO want something out of life and have plans, not that it is in your business. You really need to get off your high worse before someone knocks you down girl. Whatever is going on in YOUR life, DEAL with IT. Noone is here for you to take your problems out on. Shut your mouth, get a life! Have a great day! SAMANTHA: Don't worry hun, read your questions and I seen the one about not getting enough sex from your husband. It ALL makes sense to me now!! Don't worry, tone down your bitter, childish attitude and MAYBE you can get a little from the hubby. But hun, your FRUSTRATIONS are NO excuse for going on the attack on others. My life is great, I have a fiance who loves me, i'm a fulltime student working torward my lifelong dream, and I am now deciding to take on an outside job since circumstances will NOW allow it. I will have children when I feel I am in the "right" phase in my life. Until then, I am enjoying my life, and living.. So sorry your life turned out the way it did. =/ Get some help, maybe a professional could help you move past the issues, and become a better person. Good luck Sam! ML and Sheila, thanks for the advice.. =) Lina Blue, thanks so much, great advice! Callawak.. Thanks for your answer and advice. Yes, I have special circumstances that would have made it very, very difficult for my fiance and I to have both held jobs at the same time. I will explain the situation at the interview. I do see your point, take care! Violet Pearl.. Good point, good advice. =) SAMANTHA: To reply one more time to your whiny ramblings.. You suggested that I feel like a "useless loser" for being "unemployed for so long". lol OMG get real. I have been occupied with other things during this time, and as stated before, my fiance PREFERS that I stay home while HE works. He spoils me. =) As far as being "too lazy to contribute to society". I volunteer, do you? I care for an aging mother, do you? I rescue feral cats, do you? I'm in college pursuing my DREAM, how about you sweetie? No? Oh, i'm sorry.. =/ That "amazing" life you refer to making you an angry, sad person isn't it? lol You accused that i'm "jealous of what you have". What DO you have? You have nothing to be envied, that *I* know of. Maybe i'm missing something? If you can come up with somethin to envy, run in by me, and we'll see.. But I don't see THAT happening! rofl If you had such an amazing life, you would get on here attacking others' lives. Now WOULD you? lol Wow.... Samantha, part 2: Oh.. And.. rofl.. You said that I "pulled it out of my a*s" that you said you are having a dry spell with your husband? You posted a question to see if you two were "normal". But, ummm, ironically..... lol Reading one of your answers, I think it's your HUSBAND who may need something PULLED out of his a*s (referencing the strap on YOU said you use on him) *LMAS* Wow hun, thanks for the laugh.. Gotta get going.. I have something called a life. You might remember it? Or, did you have experience one? lol Take care darlin', must be on my way! (Hope life gets better for ya. Will keep you in our prayers) Everyone: I want to thank you all for your answers. Some have been very helpful, and I appreciate it! =) <3 And then, I have to thank Samantha for the laugh! rofl I find it so incredibly humorous that she (same woman who posts a question to see if she's normal because she wants more sex than hubby's willing to give, answers a question, stating that she gives it to her husband up the a*s with a strap on to get him off, and that he has to do her up the a*s to get off, because she is so loose that vaginal intercourse doesn't get the job done - don't believe me? Read her Q's & As!!) would come on here and attack someone who is ready and wanting to get a job outside the home (now that the timing is right), and calling ME the loser?! That's just TOO much!! rofl Wow... But again, thank you to everyone who answered. Best wishes to ALL! =_ Ooops, skipped you Dave. lol You don't have to be married, or have kids, to take care of your home, do all the cooking, cleaning, shopping, gardening, errands, bill paying, and such. =)
Walmart Pay Vacation and Sick Pay Day? Hello i have been employed at Walmart for about five months and i'm on pay stub i never see any pay day or sick day leave hours being accured where other associates pay stub have them listed or gets accrued each month i believe. How many months or years do you have to work for them to qualify for sick day leave or vacation leave? One time i heard someone say you got to work about a year to get one week pay vacation leave and some sick day leave?? But what if i get sick before my one year of employment and rather than calling out as absence i wish to you this whether they be sick pay day leave or pay vacation leave. Any suggestions?? Thanks
Is this ALWAYS going to bar me from employment? I worked for a Walmart as a seasonal position in 2004, and Home Depot in 2005, but ever since then have not been able to get a job ANYwhere. I think they might be hindering my chances, because... 1. At WalMart, we were allowed a small drink from the snack bar at break, but I didn't know that meant half hour break and not 15minute break. Plus this old guy left his crackers behind when he ordered soup, so I had them instead of putting them back(since they were technically already paid for. I worked in the snack bar.) They saw that on camera and insisted both things were "theft". and 2. I probably shouldn't have done this, but at Home Depot, I just kind of showed up one day to get my check and told the lady..."here's my apron, I'm not coming back." This was because they absolutely refused to give me any maternity leave. I was expected to be back on the job three days after giving birth. But prospective employers don't look at any of that stuff or even give you a chance to explain...to them it just looks like "theft" and "walk-off". So do you think this will always bar me from employment? And since they were only short term positions(about 2 months each), if I don't tell people I ever worked there and then they find out, would that get me fired? But then again if I don't tell people about those two, then I have no job experience whatsoever except two under-the-table things from high school, and that looks worse, right? So how do I handle this so SOMEone will hire me?
A legal question about employment contracts...? My son is about to start a job where they want him to sign a contract stating that if the employment is terminated for any reason, he cannot work for any company that sells electronics for 18 months. I assume they could consider Walmart, Target, Sears or any other place that sells electronic equipment. Wouldn't that be denying him a livelihood? Especially in this economy where you need to take what you can get! Can anyone tell me if they can actually enforce this? Thank you! Thanks Sam, that is what I was afraid of! Ralph...I agree! Thank you all for your helpful answers! I don't think I can choose a best one, as they were all equally helpful! He has decided not to take the job and is currently looking elsewhere. Thanks again for the great answers!
Got a job offer from a MrJimCWalton-Walmart Canada.Email,walmart.jimwalton@yahoo.ca.Is this genuine?Help!? I applied for employment abroad through a Dr. Shean Edwards who implied that he recruits for Global Placements Services (email:dr.shean@yahoo.ca) who contacted me a day later and informed me that Wal-Mart Canada has offered me the position of Accounting Clerk III. Mr Jim Walton of Wal-Mart wrote me an email later confirming the offer. He required me to fill in some Interview Assessment Forms which and scan them back. Days later he sent me an offer letter on email for me to sign if I accepted the terms and conditions, stating that the original will be sent together with my work permit, visa and other clearance documents.I am supposed to fill the Wal-Mart Bio Data form and send it to their lawyer- (Virgil Smith Attorneys) for the processing of work permit and visa. I need to know whetrher anyone else has been offered a job thru email by walmart. Has anyone taken up a job with them? My stand, when the deal is too good, think twice. Is this a scam???
Walmart Benefits.....? Does anyone know what the eligibility date is for benefits such as medical coverage with Walmart? For example: are you eligible for coverage at date of hire?...after 30 days of employment?...after 60 days?...after 90 days?....Please assist. I am interested in working for them, but I also need medical coverage asap because my current coverage will expire soon and individual insurance coverage is not an option. Thanks. I worked there back in 98' PT and I was only there for a total of about 5 months and I remember having insurance. I am not sure when I was offered coverage or what type it was. I do remember that it was through Blue Cross Blue Shield of SC, so I know it was good coverage especially for only being there PT, but I am sure they have probably changed there coverage options by now. I think the job I am applying for would be FT, but I would still like to know what I could get if PT or FT.
Employment Q: With the economy tanking, I may have to seek employment? While filing out my Walmart application form, for character references I listed Buk. Somehow word got out and I have been black balled from all Walmarts within a 6 hour radius. Do I have a legal case for discrimination or sumpthun? I mean, I'm clearly overqualified as a greeter. Over 65??? Oh, dear Lord, help me!
Walmart...an atrocity to america or a great job opportunity? after all..they do give teenagers and housewives employment
Can my son say that he has done misc. jobs for cash over the summer on a job application? My 17 yr. old son has done some misc. work for people over the summer. Mowing lawns for neighbors. He also helped build an addition, and did some roofing work. He was paid cash for these jobs. He was paid by the job for mowing the lawn. But the other work he was paid $10 hr. cash. Can he put this stuff down on a job application? How should he word it? Does he say self employed? The job applications he will be filling out will be for his first job. He filled out a few applications last winter, but didn't have anything to write down for employment. He's hoping that the little bit of work he did over the summer will be helpful. He's just looking to get a job at like Walmart or something.
How can Aflac insurance refuse to cover cancer? Heres the situation, my mother just signed up for a health insurance through Aflac (by way of walmart employment) and she added on the cancer insurance. After getting the insurance she turned up with some skin cancer on her forehead, she read in her plan afterwards that if she was to get skin cancer again in the next ten years they wouldn't cover it, but if she got another form of cancer they would cover it. Now my real question is how greedy is it that if you start to have some ongoing problems with cancer they won't cover it more then once. How can they do that, it doesn't seem ethical what so ever to refuse treatment of a disease that has a good chance of recurring. would they refuse someone with high blood pressure meds if after 6 months if they got themselves balanced and upon noticing that the person is "Healthy" the insurance company refuses to cover any more med for high blood pressure?
How long will weed stay in my system? 10 Days ago exactly, I smoked a little weed at a party. Now by a little I mean i hit a blunt, and then a small glass pipe. So all total I had 2 hits. This was 10 days ago and today I had to take a pre-employment drugtest. This is a gs/ms laboratory test, not just a walmart piss test, so I am concerned that I wont pass. I haven't smoked weed in over 8 months since this. Do you think I will pass? Thanks
Employment question...help please!? I applied at Target and Walmart. I received job offers to both, but the offers are pending background results. I'm a bit nervous...a year ago (10-07) I was convicted of worthless check.I paid the fine right away, and was done. It was a stupid mistake..one well learned from! I am scared I won't get hired now... Does anyone know what Target or Walmart are looking for on their background checks? Will I be disqualified because of this?
Does Wal-Mart drug test? Does Walmart do pre-employment drug testing? If they do, is it a spit or urine test?

What do you think of unions? I work in a field that has quite a bit of dealings with unions and I have yet to see one that helps a worker and also helps the company remain competitive and successful. Why is it that the union representing school teachers thinks it's appropriate for a gym teacher to get the same salary as a math teacher and that they are guaranteed employment for life? Companies are leaving this country. WalMart employees should have a union, not our manufacturing plants and educational system. I am tired of unions strangling out the success of companies and promoting laziness and never helping! I watch more companies close down or leave that have unions than don't. How is it that they are still in existence? Does anyone agree with me on this?
i just turned sixteen. i have some questions about employment and jobs? i'm looking for a job now since most fastfood places and stores will hire at sixteen. i was just wondering if i needed a work permit. someone told you that you have to get one from your school guidance counselor before you can work anywhere, but if i do need one, school is out, so i can't get one! i also was wondering which of these places you would recomend working at. all of these places are near me and i am fairly certain that they hire at the age of sixteen. i am going to apply to all of them, but which ones would be the best places for me to work at: walmart mcdonalds sonic giant eagle shop n save eat n park tj maxx kings famous footwear wendys taco bell target & many many other places, so if you have another place that you'd like to reccomend, i probably have one near me. all of the answers will be greatly apreciated! thank you :-) i live in pennsylvania if the permit matters there
Have any pharmacists worked for Rite Aid or Eckerd Drugs? My wife is going to be leaving her current position as a hospital pharmacist to get back to working a day shift. She interviewed with Eckerd Drugs today and they were VERY motivated to hire her. A HUGE sign on bonus and great benefits. Having said that, in a few months, this Eckerd with be a Rite Aid. I've read some Rite Aid horror stories online, but all were from a customer's point of view. I'd like to hear how a pharmacist views their employment with Rite Aid. I don't want my wife to go into a situation that will cause her undue stress. Sam's Club also has offered her a position, but with no sign on bonus. Also, they would make her wait 1 year before starting in the 401K plan. The schedule, however, would be better for us as a family. Any pharmacists for Sam's/Walmart who have opinions to share would be appreciated as well. We live in the Myrtle Beach, SC area. Target, unfortunately, is fully staffed here. It was the first place we looked! We get our own scripts filled there. We also checked with the supermarkets in the area: Kroger, PigglyWiggly and BiLo. Also fully staffed. Sounds like the big box stores and supermarkets must be doing something right. The only stores begging for pharmacists here are the Rx chains.

I would like some feedback on my career situation.? I am a 57 year old white male. I have worked in IT and my skills are Access, Excel and Visual Basic. I have some significant gaps in my work history where. I worked as a substitute teacher in school year 2005/2006 and but did not feel that going into teaching was right for me. 1. My skills are not that advanced with respect to current technologies. 2. I do not have good references for IT work. Some are too old. 3. I had several temp jobs in the last year where I was told that I was not strong enough technically with respect to employer's current expectations. 4. My history of temp jobs and gaps in employment has resulted in negative comments from many employers during recent interviews. 5. I have worked for H & R Block the last four tax seasons. full or part time. I have receive positive reviews every year and this is my best recent work reference. 7. I just got a job at a local Walmart and working 30 hours a week at $10 an hour in electronic sales.
