Tentative 9/7/15 Prime Start Date

Thanks for sharing it. I'm not sure the same technique would work for a box but if I can get my hand under it I might have enough leverage. I'll still work towards the strength since I need it anyways but, when it comes to real world lifting, work smarter not harder.

The jerk technique might work on a box. To the hip, then get your elbow under it, jerk to your shoulder.

The deal is, however you do it, get one end of the box/tarp/etc. into the target shelf. Then you're done!

Well, I reapplied with Prime and was offered September 7th or 14th. No point in waiting so I chose the 7th. They need to run all my background stuff still but, besides bad credit my records are as clean as can be. My employment history does worry me a bit though and I'll have to remember to ask. I have been working the same job since 2012 and they only asked for 3 years of verifiable history but told me I'll need to show 5 years when I go to the school. Well, before this job I went to cosmetology school without graduation, before that I was fired from Wal-Mart after 89 days, before Wal-Mart I was on unemployment. Does anyone know how important those two years are going to be? My recruiter is supposed to call on Monday so I'll make sure to ask but, it's worrisome. I'm close to 3.5 years on this job, I'd hate for Wal-Mart to be the reason I don't get in.

Are you sure you were fired from Walmart? 89 days sounds like a 90 day probation period and that they let you go before you hit that 90. You may have not been classified as "fired". Check.

It was within my 90 day probation yes, but the paper I signed before leaving said termination on it. What else would it be if it wasn't termination?

Saying you were "terminated" during a probationary period sounds better than just being fired. Sometimes when you are hired on, the wording in the offer letter is that if you are let go duing your probation it's more a "parting of the ways" then being called "fired".

Good to know DSH. I'll have to keep it in mind if it comes up.
