@Franknetter You can consult a credentials evaluation agency(I have forgotten their name)to evaluate your transcripts for a possible transfer to a medical school in Chicago.You are on greencard and not citizenship and under American law if you stay outside u.s for particular number of months it will be revoked automatically meaning that you will have to start the whole process all over again.Contact an immigration lawyer there to confirm what I just said.

The "interview" wasn't infact, an interview. It was a high volume hiring process. All they needed was for you to show up, give consent for them to run a background check and take a drug test. We had our picture taken, filled out some forms and picked the shifts. I picked 3 day, 12 hr shift, pay rate is $15.50/hr.

The drug test consisted of us putting one cotton-like apparatus against the cheeks on the inside of our mouths which would absorb some saliva, after which you'd put it in a test tube, seal it, label and submit. The process lasted for like an hr. They said we should keep checking our emails in the following days, that we would be notified on their decision if/when the background and drug tests results come in clean. Fingers crossed. smiley

Strong man, you will have to stand for 12 hours. Your first two weeks will tell how strong you are, though, apart that, you should be fine. But the worse department you will hate is stowing. Customer's return is good, quality control is good too. Inbound and outbound are both good. The worse part is meeting your target, so, you have to be very fast. Lol

yes, this is peak period where customers order goods online.
Like I have said, amazon operates four sections: Receiving, Stowing, picking and packing. In one of these, every associate is expected to work in.
Receiving and packing, you are stationed in one working space standing doing your job.
Stowing and picking, you are mobile doing your job.

stowing
As a stower, you will have a scanner held in your hand which you will use to scan product and physically place it into a bar coded shelf location so that the product can be ordered by the customer. You will visually inspect each item for damage prior to placing the item on a shelf as well as ensuring these items are accurate. This will allow you walk several miles, depending on the size of the warehouse, daily over the course of your shift. So, accuracy and speed are required with standing long hour.

I've applied for two schools Chicago state university and Governor state university. If my movement get head, I could get back to school as early as January next year.

After the long wait, my transcript is finally being evaluated. I'm just keeping a close eye on the situation. Thanks for asking.

Hello op, congrats in advance on your new job.
I want to ask, how much is the expected tax to pay on your income on the above job?
is the tax payable to state/ federal?
thanks.

From my experience with burger king, you don't manually pay the income tax. They deduct it automatically before the cash is paid into your account. I think both state and federal collect their cut from your pay check but all the deductions are documented on your paystub (which is a document showing hrs you worked, how much you're paid per hour, estimated income per annum and tax deducted).

What is the 'Federal Insurance Contributions Act - FICA'
The Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) is a U.S. law that creates a payroll tax requiring a deduction from the paychecks of employees as well as a contribution from employers. The withheld amounts go towards the funding of the Social Security program and Medicare. For self-employed persons, there is an equivalent law called the Self-Employed Contributions Act (SECA).

I recently read Eminem attacked Pontus. The content of the said was not stated in the article apart that he was angry Trump didn't give attention to him.

Honestly, I have not read any American presidents that aren't diplomat like Trump
