Job application for jcpenney

Hey guys,
I applied for the GC through marriage based, my husband is a US citizen and we recently got a RFE that we're not sure how to deal with.
Here's the case, my husband didn't make enough income in 2022 since he left his job that year, however he started his own business in 2023 and made enough income, we both together made 75k in taxable income from the business in 2023, however we sent the application before April so we ended up not using his 2023 taxes.
For safety, we used his mom as a joint sponsor, she doesn't work and she's retired (has SSA benefits, but not a enough), she makes 6 figures a year based on interest from the bank, long short story, her husband passed away in 2022 and left her with a good amount of money on the bank (around 3million USD), she lives of interest from this money on the bank.
I sent to USCIS as proof of income her just 2022 tax transcripts since she doesn't have income based on W-2s. They for sure sent us a RFE asking for proof of current income. I am able to get her 1099 INT from the bank and the bank statements, that's all we can provide. Is that enough? Does money made from interest classifies as assets when filling the form again? I am very confused in how to reply or if it would be safer get another joint sponsor (it isnt really a good option since we dont have anyone else).

[I posted it on jobs before, but posting in here as well to get more perspectives from recruiters]
hey yall. I applied a technician position to a very big annual local festival last April. On the application website, there was an option to choose a time for a shift, so I chose '12 AM ~ 8 AM'.
I got a phone call to arrange a time for the interview 1 week later, and had an interview. In the interview, everything went really good but in the end of it, they asked me what time is available for the position to me, then I answered the time slot I chose in the application website. Right after, the recruiters said the position is only available for 8AM~11PM. I was so confused when I heard it and immediately asked them then why they put the time slot for the position in the application page. They said they would look into the application page and promised me to send an email about it.
I waited for their email but 3 weeks later, I got the rejection email (typical 'decided to move forward with another candidate'). I sent them an email why they didn't reply me back regarding the time slot, but they still haven't replied back to me for 1 week.
Is it common a recruiter posted wrong information and rejected applicants because of it? I don't understand. I'd like to hear recruiters' perspective or experiences if it commonly happens or doesn't.

Absolutely love seeing these from others so thought I’d share our story a little and our timeline.
We were renting, had been here 5 years and in August of last year our landlord put our house up for sale and asked if we wanted to buy the house, we didn’t because she had it up for £100k and it needed at least £20-£30K of work doing. She told us she would sell to another landlord so we didn’t have to worry, then comes January we’d only had 1 viewing so far which nothing came from, but in January 2 viewings were booked, both first time buyers so we went into full panic mode as you can imagine. Offer was accepted from the FTB on our rented house 6/2) I went full crazy organised and:
7/2 - decision in principle for a mortgage!
7/2 - saw house on Zoopla
10/2 - first viewing, left a bit disheartened because it looked smaller than the pictures but spent over 2 hours talking about it falling in love with it all over again
13/2 - second viewing with the in laws to see what works were needed and any changes we could make were doable.
14/2 - offers put in, after a few back and forth offer accepted!
14/2-21/2 - solicitors contacted and instructed
19/2 - mortgage application put in
22/2 - MORTGAGE APPROVED
16/4 - searches came back
Had a lot of back and forth between our solicitors and the sellers solicitors, Agreed exchange for the 9th and completion on the 10th, this got changed to the 9th for completion due to the seller
9/5 - completion and we got the keys at 4pm!
Since the 9th we’ve been doing jobs changing locks, resealing the bathroom and some windows, prepping walls for painting and sorting getting the drive extended to half the front garden (doing all ourselves)
We did receive a section 21 on 25/3 ready to evict us 29/5 so we’re officially ‘moving’ into the new house 25/5 ready to get the rented place ‘end of tenancy’ cleaned so they can’t screw us any more than they have.
Edit: formatting.

I've been learning Svelte for three years. It is by far the best solution currently available. It doesn't unlock many job opportunities though, because tech companies build with what people know, instead of what is best. However, I stand behind my previous statement: Svelte is the best solution.
Here are a few tips I wish I knew before I learned Svelte.
Create a boilerplate fine-tuned and customized just to your liking. Keep it simple. Only include the basics that you are for sure going to need in the vast majority of your projects (e.g. auth, Tailwind CSS, component libraries, TypeScript, formatters, etc.). Something that abstracts the boring stuff, so that when you have a cool idea, you can just get straight to work on it -- instead of procrastinating.
Write messy code. When I began writing code in general, I always obsessed over making sure my code is clean. I gave up on hundreds of projects before I realized this key tip: It's either perfect, or it's finished. Since learning this, I now "finish" the majority of my projects. That being said, don't deliberately write messy code, just prioritize cleaning it up when it is less of a deal.
Focus on the fundamentals. Despite the allure of Svelte's simplicity and elegance, strong JavaScript foundations are crucial. Make sure you understand the underlying concepts like reactive programming and component lifecycle, as these are applicable across other frameworks too.

Note: The majority of this doesn't only pertain to Svelte/Kit but pertains to programming as a whole.

SO MY QUESTION I’M I GETTING THE JOB OR NO??

Hey Everyone!,
I'm reaching out for some guidance on landing a help desk job in Delaware. I've got my A+, and I'm working towards my Network+, but I'm also looking to gain real-world experience.
I've been practicing in my Homelab and feel pretty confident in my skills, but I'm hitting a roadblock with job applications, all asking for 2+ years of experience. Any advice or help you could share would be incredibly helpful. Thanks a bunch.
Edit: This is a repost since Mod's removed it for not having a location.

England - sorry, idk why the flair says housing, it's not letting me change it.
Keeping it short, I had received threatening messages from 2017-2021 from an anonymous person/persons. Reported thrice: 2019 (closed), 2020 (closed) no evidence apparently. Texts continued, I reported again (2021).
8 months later in early 2022 police raid our house at dawn, take all mine and my partner's devices. They said our IP had accessed the site used to create the email domain or something along those lines (we obviously didn't create the emails considering they'd been going on for ages but yes we obviously would have looked at the domain but I feel like that's a pretty normal thing to do). Partner and I interviewed separately for "perverting the course of justice". And no, emails were anon so nobody else got arrested in respect to them etc. Anyway, CID says devices will be expedited due to partners job (needs his tech) and we should hear in 7 months.
We moved, partner updated police of our address change. Both duty solicitor and criminal lawyer have said to both of us separately that they would be immensely surprised if they decide to charge since they aren't going to find anything incriminating on the devices (a good half of them were purchased after the "crime") and since I never accused any person as it was anonymous, and them putting the devices on expedited forensics, they said we could expect to see charges dropped very soon.
Anyway, 2.5 years later, still no contact. Partners solicitor checked a few times to no response, solicitors stopped replying to us as they apparently assumed it was just NFAed. I emailed the officer months ago, I think 6 or so months ago, and they said device forensics are all done but no decision has been made yet.
Really unsure what to do - duty solicitor no longer around and I'm a foreign national so basically I'm stuck in the country until the case is closed (leave to remain applications don't proceed if you have a pending charge so I can't get back in if I leave).
I'm starting to think this is getting ridiculous on the timescale front and it's just so frustrating and stressful. Is this timescale normal for a case like this? I made it VERY clear about my nationality so they very much do know the consequences on that front.
Absolutely any advice much appreciated!

Hello all,
So I am currently in my junior year of university and I have never had a real job before, aside from an after-school matters office job one summer. I help my family a lot at home so I haven't had time for a job, but now I do so I have been looking and everything requires experience. I saw online that there's a part-time job available as a beauty consultant at a JCPenney location near me that does not require experience, which is perfect because I love makeup/skincare and I don't have any prior experience. The only problem is I am having issues trying to fill out the online application due to a website issue.
Should I call them or go in-store and ask if they're hiring? Will they interview me on the spot? Are there any tips I should know to say if I get an interview? I guess I am just basically asking what to do to make me sound like I can handle the job since I don't have prior experience.
Thanks in advance!

I'm a little shell shocked, so I apologize if this doesn't translate correctly. I've spent the last 9 months in the application process, even years longer working to meet qualifications to serve.
I served in Americorps, so I was without a personal vehicle (or a substantial paycheck) for about two years. I cancelled out my liability vehicle insurance as a result. When I got home, I didn't have the money for the insurance right away. The week I was accepted for my PC term, I drove to a summer job interview, with the intent to buy insurance with my first paycheck. I got the job, luckily!
On the drive home, someone ran a stop sign at an intersection and hit my vehicle. My vehicle was totalled, and I received a 460 dollar ticket for lack of liability. Family drove me home, and that night when I caught my breath I emailed PC legal staff, disclosing the incident. This is the only legal issue I've ever had. They never replied. I was told by other PC staff that Legal replies if they need to, in their own time, and that with how busy they were it was best not to reach out and risk slowing them down further.
Months later, I still hadn't received clearance. Onboarding paperwork asked if I had received a ticket for over 300, so I said yes. I then called staff to ask about the ticket, and if there was any follow up paperwork needed. They found the email I sent and said, "oh, wow we should have replied to this email, sorry. Yes, we will send you the paperwork." I filled out the paperwork and sent it in.
A few weeks later, my application has been revoked, via email with no context.
I have emailed, asking if it could be appealed. If not, I've asked if I could still be eligible to reapply. My departure date is 20 days away. I've already done so much preparation, we've had a "going away" celebration. For others who have dealt with this, how did you move forward?

hi. my application for kroger is still pending. this will be my first job. i've seen a lot of people getting fired for calling off, even from other companies. i was wondering if i was genuinely sick, will they fire me for calling off? when ever im sick, it takes me three weeks to get better. do they want us to still show up while spreading germs on customers items? what would i do if i was really sick?

I screwed up, I only applied to an ML master's at 3 competitive schools (partially because of my poor health at the time) and I only made the waitlist for one. I'm wondering what I should do next. I have already taken a year off school to develop my profile. I graduated from my undergrad with a 3.88/4 and I now have a publication in press (minor but first author).
I feel that as time goes by my profile is worsening. I had to resign from my job as a developer around the time the applications were due because of my poor health. It was a dead-end job which somehow did not leave me with many transferable skills. So instead of struggling to find a job in the market, I made a bad decision. I figured I could make a living tutoring and freelancing (not really tech-related) until September.
Around the time I resigned from my dev job, I elected not to join my PI at a T50 school because I thought I wanted to change subdisciplines. Another big mistake. I am hoping that PI will be willing to make me an offer again for next September as we are still on good terms. But I need a plan for the time being.
Currently, I'm thinking of trying to get a job in tech. The problem is that my skillset is a little niche, and I am underqualified for most ML jobs so it will be hard to get anything in this market. But I see no other good way to maintain a competitive profile for admission to grad school. Alternatively, I could apply to a lower-caliber school whose applications are still open. I'm just a bit reluctant because I feel it would be a bit of a waste. Any suggestions are appreciated.

If an employer posts a job for, say, IT Manager, Cloud Security Engineer, Information Security Analyst, etc., and you take the time to read the qualifications to see if you’re qualified, revise your resume, fill out the application and submit, you get an email three days or so later stating “We’re moving on with other more qualified candidates.” WHAT THE HELL??
And then it goes quiet for a few days, and all of a sudden, a recruiter calls you about an opportunity that pays $50k less than what you were making. And then they ghost you. And then another recruiter calls you and the interview goes well, and then they fucking ghost you!!
WHAT ARE THESE COMPANIES LOOKING FOR? If a position needs to be filled, and you qualify for it, and you’re qualified, and apply,….you’re e all of a sudden not qualified enough… this shit makes no sense..
I need to work and I’m VERY qualified for the above positions I’ve just named…

I'm a 23 year old guy. I come from a background of just not really knowing myself. This is just for a little context. Some of us unfortunately had to deal with toxic households. And as a result maybe contributed to depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts. Cool. So years go by of just planning your escape while also trying to finish school and not off yourself. During high school I admired artists, animators, musicians, etc. I was brainstorming ideas of being in that world. I would watch these animation student thesis films on YouTube. These things were great to admire but I never felt such a strong interest or connection to participate. I was writing my own stories. I thought maybe I would want to write for comics or animation or even live action TV/Film. I applied to Ringling College of Art & Design as well as New Hampshire Institute of Art. I got accepted to both but I decided to just go to community college because while I had some scholarship, both were still a lot of money. And I really stopped having an interest to participate in writing as years went by. I want to keep this post more so focused on the job part so I'm going to leave out info that might raise questions but oh well. I finished high school and started college Fall 2019. Then the pandemic came so I left college. Then I was trying to figure out how to be productive. I really did not have an interest in school. To be fair I did not have much of an interest in life. I only stayed alive due to my belief. So I decided to just work, make some money and figure it out. I wanted to save for when I finally move out and progress in life. Didn't end up happening. I actually did end up going back to school. I didn't care about any of the majors I just did business for my associates and communications for bachelors. It was online but they also had a center downtown for students to do work. So I went there everyday in the summer of 2023 to graduate faster and be done with school one and for all. And I did. November 2023 I graduated with my BA in communications. In September 2023 that's when I was finished with school, the ceremony was just in November. So since September I was job searching. I was working with the career counselor they offer. She helped me with my resume, cover letter and showing me useful sites. I wasn't getting any jobs. I applied A LOT EVERY DAY. A few interviews. A lot of scam offers. I never really had a focus or a career I always wanted to do. So I applied to anything. But I had some ideas kind of. And I knew what I would not do. February I got an offer from this place that does job coaching for high school students. The salary was 55k. Now that sounds like something I would definitely not be interested in. Just not my thing. But also, I had no other offers. And especially none with that starting salary which I saw was okay I guess for entry level out of college. So I had no choice but to take it. It had been five months. I'm 23. I need money. I'm trying to save. So I did. And so far I caught on very quickly. There were a few bumps on the road but that's life. After a few months I can confidently say that this job is definitely not the one for me. It's a hybrid which was nice but sometimes they have you on your remote days going other places and to me that was a little annoying. They introduced a new in-office things twice a month on Mondays so that took away two of my remote days that were guaranteed lol. I would prefer to be more independent and remote. But I think I can do another hybrid, probably. Just not at a school. Also the school things isn't so bad. Yes some of the kids were annoying. It's just not my vibe. I'm not interested in working at schools. I'm not interested in interacting with students. And I'm just so lost in the meetings. I'm like "Why am I here? I have no idea what they are talking about and I do not care." I feel like such a phony. Such a fake. I don't know how I was hired. I must have been a great actor in the interviews. They even had a written activity I had to do. I must have a way with words. And the vice president of the company keeps telling me how happy she is that she hired me and I am here at the organization. I think that's so hilarious and sad lol. I reached out to my college career counselor again and we started trying to find things. We looked at different careers and I saw technical writing and copywriting. I started applying to those and haven't seen anything yet. But also I'm not after a specific job. I just want to not work with students and be more independent. That's why I mentioned remote work. So I'm still applying I never really stopped that job search process. Even when I accepted the job I have I was still searching. I just thought after college I would have a decent job I could stay at and FINALLY move out and be ok. Decent. Just ok. That's all. I already have absolutely no guidance, no help. But yeah I have sent out more applications for other jobs. I kind of feel done with the job I'm at now. I just don't want to be here. But I know I can't leave unless I get an offer from somewhere else. It's just I don't know why I'm worried I won't. I just want to be able to move out and support myself and stay at a place I feel like I can stay and I don't have to plot to quit.

i've been hearing a lot about the hidden job market and how most people find a job through networking etc., i just wanted to know why would someone who is hiring not post a job online, as that would gain them the most applicants? would employers prefer to have (somewhat) qualified people to come to them asking for jobs rather than searching to get a wide number of applicants?

Hey everyone,
So, I've been doing a lot of thinking and planning about my future college career, and after countless hours of research and introspection, I've come to a decision that I feel really good about: I want to enroll at Yale. It's like, they've got everything. The cool job ops, amazing faculty/research, and gorgeous quad!!!! ffs!
Now, here's the thing. We all know how competitive it is to get a spot at Yale. I mean, they only have so many spots, and I really, really want one of them. I'm not that good of a student (1200 SAT), so, I've come up with a strategy that I think is going to help me out, and I need your cooperation.
This might sound a bit unconventional, but hear me out. I'm kindly requesting, for the sake of my career aspirations, that everyone here on ApplyingToCollege please refrain from applying to Yale this year. Just for this year. Think of it as a personal favor to a fellow high-schooler who has their heart set.
I know we're all striving to make it big in the college world, but if you could please consider other schools for your applications this year, that would be great. There are plenty of other amazing top colleges out there! Harvard, MIT, Johns Hopkins – the list goes on. Yale is just one of many.
I appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter. It's not every day that someone gets a shot at their dream college, and with your help, I'm hoping to make my dream a reality. Let's all support each other's aspirations, starting with not applying to Yale. Just for this year, please and thank you!
Sincerely, A Future Yalie.

Not all recruiters but dude I’m sick of the ones that resort to high pressure sales tactics
First off, there are COUNTLESS job scams out there but they’re especially common if you’re looking for remote work so my guard is ALWAYS up.
Well Im currently applying and a recruiter called me (from an unknown number obviously).
From firsthand experience, I’ve learned to be EXTRA skeptical if I get a call from a recruiter for a job I did NOT apply for. Red flag #1
And look, I don’t mean to be unkind, but English was not his first language, which is fine by me but I could not understand him and had to ask him to repeat himself multiple times. It was extremely awkward and difficult to communicate with him. And the harsh reality is that a language barrier is not great for building trust or rapport.
Then he tells me about a job opportunity but is very obviously trying to “close the deal” by getting me to apply. I’ve done sales before and he was trying to “impulse” me into wanting this job. The language barrier combined with him rushing me was red flag #2
I didn’t immediately say no because I wanted to keep my options open. I just went through with the first steps of applying so I could review the opportunity later and get off the phone.
After thinking about it, I started to seriously question whether I wanted to pursue it any further. The pay would’ve been great but the whole thing seems like a scam, no health benefits and it’s in the real estate industry, which I don’t want to work in.
In hindsight, I should’ve just emailed him “never mind please withdraw my application” but I still hadn’t fully decided.
The next day, he texts me “Hi [My name]” which I found unprofessional for a recruiter to send such an informal text like that?
And then immediately calls me to schedule an interview. I said “I thought about it and don’t want this anymore” and then he WOULDNT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER.
He seemed SO UPSET and was like “you’re not going to find another job that pays this much in this market”
And I’m thinking to myself “No shit Sherlock! This job is obviously a scam. If the company is able to offer that much $$ then they should be able to offer benefits and use an experienced recruiter who doesn’t pressure people through the application”
I’m sure he’s following a sales process that the recruiting company teaches him, and his behavior is prob “normal” in the recruiting world but I don’t think this shit should be normal.
This is my career. This isn’t a phone plan or used car. Stop trying to sell me a job and push me into a decision.
And also it should NOT be normal for recruiters to text/call applicants out of the blue without sending an email first. It’s pushy because they call and then you feel pressured to give them an answer right there on the phone.
Well I learned some lessons from it. If a recruiter calls me out of the blue, I’ll just ask them to send an email so I can review on my own.

I'm graduating with a PhD in chemistry in July and have been searching for jobs in biotech/pharma. The positions are usually scientist I-III with roles in canceimmune research.
While my degree is in chemistry, our lab does little traditional chemistry (e.g. chemical synthesis), and instead focuses on areas such as immunotherapy, biophysical, and analytical microscopy. I'm not sure if the fact my PhD is in chemistry rather than immunology or something similar is hurting my chances or if my experience isn't competitive enough, my resume doesn't convey the relevant experience well, or if I'm not even making it past the ATS or recruiter.
I've applied to ~75 jobs since the beginning of April and have only have 1 real interview. I use a hybrid resume/CV (I read that's best for industry research position. I also try to tailor my resume for each application (putting most relevant experience first, using matching keywords and skills), but most of the positions are very similar and my resume doesn't change much.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello,
My boyfriend and I are planning to rent out a 2 bedroom apartment. We both graduated 3 months ago. I have a job with 80k salary but my boyfriend is looking for a job although he has 20k in savings. we are submitting another application for an apartment after two rejections. the rent is 3300. How can we make our application stronger? Our credit score is between 740-750.
