kmart

• Question:-Kmart...........................................................................?
  Who owns Kmart? I am asking because, my mom said she isn't shopping at Walmart anymore. Today someone told her that Japan owns the chain own. When she came back and told I said I thought I told you. She well they got my last dollar.
  
  Answer:-Sears owns K-mart, and stock holders own Sears. Now if the majority of the stocks are owned by Japanese, then Yes, you could technically say that Japan owns Sears. But I do not think that is the case. I believe that more than likely the majority of Sears stocks are owned by Americans.
• Question:-Whats the difference between kmart and big kmart?
  I know target has "super target" and they have a grocery section.
  
  Does the Big Kmart have a full grocery in it?
  
  Answer:-Directly from K-Mart's website ...
  
  Big Kmart - Big Kmart signals a different kind of Kmart. These stores are bigger, brighter and offer big savings, big value, big selection and big convenience.
  
  Big Kmart stores are designed to increase store sales by increasing the frequency of customer visits. The format focuses on three distinct businesses - home fashions, children's apparel and consumables - and features an expanded food area known as the "Pantry."
  
  The layout makes it easier for customers to shop by placing the departments our customers want to shop near one another, and closer to the front of the store.
  
  The average Big Kmart carries nearly 100,000 stock-keeping units (SKU’s).
  
  Big Kmart stores average between 84,000 to 120,000 sq. ft. in size.
  
  The first Big Kmart opened in Chicago, Illinois on April 23, 1997.
• Question:-How many hours do Kmart cashiers typically work a week?
  A couple months ago I had an interview with Kmart. I forget the position I applied for, it wasn't for cashier, though. The woman said the hours for the position I applied for were between 12 to 20 per week, so obviously I didn't accept the job offer...
  
  Do Kmart cashiers get such pathetic hours too?
  
  Answer:-That sounds about right. Most get around 15 to 20 hours in slow times, and up to 25-30 hours if it's a busy holiday season. I've never understood this stupid principle that countless retailers use. They have many dedicated workers who would be thrilled to work full-time, 40 hours a week. Instead, the company prefers to hire all part time workers in addition to the already existing part-time workers, instead of giving the original workers the extra hours. They don't want to make them full-time because they don't want to have to pay any benefits to them. Part-time benefits have sky-high rates to the point where it's better to just put a little money aside each week in a savings account rather than pay for insurance each week.
• Question:-How much does Kmart pay for a sixteen year old?
  How much does Kmart pay a sixteen year old an hour to work part time?
  Would it be the same as a supermarket and also, what other part time jobs would pay the most?
  
  I already work very casually at a pharmacy but I need more work.
  I live in Australia if that helps.
  Thanks.
  
  Answer:-KMart etc all pay under the miscellaneous workers union award - so the salary is all the same - same as your pharmacy position.
• Question:-What are the chances of me getting drug tested at Kmart?
  I have an interview at Kmart and I know they do drug test but a lot of people have told me they didn't get tested.
  Daniel, I smoke marijuana which is not bad for your health at all.
  
  Answer:-You will get drug tested. It is part of the hiring process. The hiring manager can not start you on a schedule until the drug test result comes back clean.
• Question:-for anyone that worked at kmart how long after orientation do you start work?

• Question:-What training do Loss Prevention officers at kmart get?
  I have an interview at kmart tomorrow for LP. But I wanted to know what type of training they get? And how long does it take? Do they also get a badge?
  
  Answer:-I use to date this guy who worked as a LP for K-Mart. He had no formal training other than watching a few videos to learn how to spot shoplifters. He did not have a badge either. I am not sure if they have changed things since then, (This was back in 2000) and it could differ from store to store or area to area. This would be a good question to ask in your interview though. Good Luck!
• Question:-How can I assemble my Martha Stewart from Kmart prelit Christmas tree?
  I bought a 7-foot prelit Christmas tree - Martha Stewart from Kmart last year. My daughter assembled it in 10 minutes and it was beautiful all season! We took it out of the box and tried to assemble it yesterday and the branches won't stand up. It seems as if they need to hook or click into something but we can't figure out what. Of course, there were no instructions, only a simple diagram on the box. Does anyone else have one of these trees and know what to do with it?
  
  Answer:-You could try to get online website to www.martha Stewart website to see if you can find something on there. I had a tree three year without instructions.
• Question:-I applied to Kmart recently and they automatically scheduled an interview for me, should I call to confirm?
  I just applied to Kmart and to my surprise, they automatically schedule an interview towards the end of the application. The scheduled interview is in 3 days, should I call them to confirm?
  
  Answer:-It never hurts to confirm an interview and it makes you look like you are really interested, so I would do it.
• Question:-What kind of positions can you apply for at kmart if your underage besides cashier?
  I wanted to apply at kmart. But i'm not sure what to apply for. Is there anything else I can do besides cashier?
  BTW it has to part time because my state wont let me work full time :(
  
  Answer:-Check with your states department of labor to see what they legally allow underage workers to do. From there you will know if K-Mart has anything for you that you can specifically apply for.

rutgers

• Question:-Rutgers............................?
  What does Rutgers expect one's GPA to be right out of high school? What must one's GPA be to get accepted? I tried looking it up, but could not find info on GPA. Thanks
  
  Answer:-The GPA varies depending on which campus you wish to start at and whether or not you are getting in with a certain program. Additionally, Rutgers looks at applications on a holistic measure - meaning they don't look only at the GPA, but what other factors contribute to a GPA.
  
  For Rutgers New Brunswick I believe the GPA is around a 3.0 or 3.2. Newark and Camden are less but you can usually transfer to New Brunswick later. Again, however, it's very possible to get in with a lower GPA if you have a lot of activities that you are part of or if your school doesn't weight the GPA (Rutgers reweights the GPA for you).
  
  Good luck!
• Question:-rutgers ?
  r we allowed 2 email rutgers 2 ask questions about admissions

• Question:-How can I establish or start NROTC at Rutgers University?
  I just transferred into Rutgers like many people do from other universities or county colleges. I want to eventually be an officer in the Navy but sadly the opportunities here at Rutgers are very slim when it comes to the Navy. Rutgers is only affiliated with the Army and Air Force, not the Navy. .How can I, a normal student, push the school or the Armed Forces, to consider NROTC at Rutgers University? Has anyone attempted this at their school? What was the outcome?
  
  Answer:-Other students as well as the Navy are trying to re-establish Nrotc at Rutgers.
  http://nbfc.rutgers.edu/year09_10/NBFCROTCRepEdit.pdf
  Also at Columbia, Yale, Harvard and Brown which tossed Nrotc off campus in the late 60's/early 70's.

• Question:-What exactly does Rutgers University look for in acceptance from transfer students?
  I'm a third year college student looking to transfer to Rutgers University yet I'm wondering what they look for before they make their decision. My GPA is 2.9 and yet there were 3-4 courses I didn't do well and I retook. To those that have transferred directly from a college to Rutgers University, what do they look for within your transcripts? Is is possible that they will accept someone one failed four courses yet retook them and did better?
  
  Answer:-Most of the time it is more difficult to transfer credits to Rutgers because they have a strict criteria. I knew a couple of transfers to Rutgers NB who did well in other colleges, but a lot of their classes were not accepted by Rutgers due to strict standards. Most of the transfers stayed another year to complete requirements. The possibility of being accepted also depends which campus you are applying for. Newark and Camden are easier to get in than New Brunswick campus.
  
  It is highly unlikely that Rutgers will allow a transcript with 4 failed into the school. And even if they did, it is rare that the courses will count towards your graduation credits.
• Question:-What area is safe and bad near Rutgers Newark? How safe is the public transit station to NYC at RN?
  I am about to accept admission to Rutgers Newark. I want am debating whether I should live near campus (which if it is unsafe and ghetto i won't) or live in NYC and take public transit into Rutgers. I understand it is a commuter school, but I do not know how safe the campus is. I will be there at night with my girlfriend and I want to know how safe the public transit from Newark to NYC is. If it is as dangerous as living near Rutgers Newark I would probably just live near the campus.
  
  Answer:-pay no attention to any one on this/go monday night and drive area/do this afew nights in a row/the cops are hot in this area/dont try irvington at all/complete anarchy at night/try going up 21 for living in belville or nutley/or further up to clifton etc/bus service is available to north cities/even kearney is ok/check the kids around there/they will confirm this
• Question:-Who thinks Rutgers should get a shot for the natl title if they are unbeaten at the end of the year?
  I Like this rutgers team. Ray Rice is a absolute beast who could (and maybe should) win the Heisman trophy. But more important to this team than Rice's performance so far (we already expected this from rice) is quarterback Mike Teel. He is lighting it up this year. You turn on Sportscenter all you see is Teel to Underwood, who, by the way, is all-american wideout. That defense is solid too.
  
  TO ME, They are the most talented team on both sides of the ball besides LSU. Which leads me to my point. They can beat West Virginia (who is overrated to me; no defense) and Louisville (again no defense). If they are undefeated at the end of this season, DO THEY DESERVE A SHOT AT THE BCS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP?
  Chris 10...i'm not a Rutgers fan i was just asking this question because they seem to be playing really well.
  
  Answer:-If they're one of 2 undefeated teams, then yes they should play for the National Title. If they are one of a group of 3 or more undefeated teams (USC, LSU and Oklahoma all have a chance to win out) then Rutgers wouldn't fit in the National Title picture. The schedule they play just isn't up to par - even with WVU and Louisville - because as you said those teams are overrated.
• Question:-How much more work can i expect at Rutgers vs a community college?
  Just wondering since i'm about to transfer to Rutgers from Brookdale. How many more hours of work should i expect to have to do per/day in order to maintain my current 3.5 gpa if i keep the same marketing major.
  
  Answer:-A lot. No one can tell you for sure how many hours more you'll be working. It depends on your major, classes, study habits, intelligence, etc. But I'll tell you one thing that's for sure- Rutgers has a great business school, and it's a great school overall. Expect to do a lot of work, much more than a community college, especially for a marketing major. A's are hard to come by at RU, and you really do need to work for them. Having said that, Rutgers is a great school, and if you do well, you'll be rewarded. Good luck!
• Question:-Can I transfer to rutgers business school new Brunswick after one yr in county college?
  I am a freshman at county college and I want to transfer to rutgers. Is it possible for me to transfer into the business school (new Brunswick) after finishing my freshman year? Or would I have to do one year at sas and then apply to the business school?
  
  Answer:-Probably not. While you can transfer to Rutgers with a minimum of 12 transferable units, you need to complete 6 required courses (see link below) before you can be admitted to their business school. I have no idea what "sas" is so I can't answer that part of your question. If you choose to take the required courses at some place other than Rutgers, makes sure the classes will be accepted by Rutgers first.
