The Second Largest Retail Supermarket Kroger is now Hiring and is Willing to Pay you $7-$20 an Hour Along With Interesting Employee Benefits
If you want to apply really quick then hop on to Kroger Careers by not wasting any more time. A wonderful opportunity awaits you that might not come again anytime soon.
The COVID-19 situation has caused unprecedented havoc in the United States and people have started to lose jobs and will be followed by more in the coming time. The sheer suddenness of events has left American citizens to ponder upon what their future job options can be. However, some hope has been showered by the well-known retail supermarket called “Kroger.” They are hiring people for their supermarket for various job roles.
The supermarket giant has nearly over 2500 supermarkets all over the country and is associated with its subsidiaries and other multi-department stores. The headquarter of the company is located in Cincinnati, Ohio. The network of Kroger’s is way too broad as it includes food procession industries and almost 2000 pharmacies all over the United States of America.
What can job seekers expect from Kroger?
Pay Scale – Kroger has promised to pay $7-$20 per hour to work in a supermarket and if you have expertise or have a tag of pharmacists then you can grab a healthy pay of $59 per hour for working at their pharmacy. If you have a tag of a bagger then you may earn somewhere around $8-$10 every hour.
Weekly Payments Assurance – Kroger strongly believes that initiating employee payments by the end of month is an outdated policy. At Kroger payments are made weekly on Fridays.
Flexible Working Hours – You are allowed to choose any hours you want as per your convenience and flexibility. This is such an advantageous convenience for many people because some people have multiple jobs, kids to look after, and have other priorities which they can’t choose to ignore.
Paid Holidays – If you are a full-time worker at Kroger’s then you will get to enjoy the additional benefits of getting paid even on some leaves you take. This is a great policy initiative by Kroger’s because some leaves are always justified as they can be urgent and of emergency in nature.
Bonuses – Kroger is all in for celebrating bravery during crisis situations. For example- during this ongoing COVID-19 crisis Kroger is paying $150-$300 to their employees so that they can keep themselves full and healthy. Kroger values people who are putting on their lives to serve their stores during this ongoing pandemic.
Employee Health Benefits – The company is also providing health benefits such dental plans, vision plans, medical plans for all its employees.
Employee Discounts – Now if you are working at a place which sells ration and medicines then why can’t they offer discounts to their employees who work passionately for them.
Best of luck for grabbing a working opportunity at the one and only Kroger.
Doves Announce First Album In 11 Years ‘The Universal Want’ Out September 11
Doves recently revealed their first new music in eleven years with new track “Carousels” which received critical acclaim spanning Pitchfork, Stereogum, CLASH, Uncut and Under The Radar as well as radio plays with Sirius XMU, WXPN and more. Today, the band break their silence on new album rumours by announcing their long awaited fifth studio album, The Universal Want, set for release on September 11, 2020 through IMPERIAL in the US. Buoyed by refreshed chemistry, restless studio creativity and public reaction to their return, Doves have set free the album’s first single, “Prisoners”.
“Prisoners” is an unstoppable, driving tale of caution in a world of unending desire. Produced by Doves with Dan Austin and recorded at the band’s own Frank Bough Sound III studios in North West England, the high heat of its Northern Soul beat is fanned by wiry guitar breaks and cuts of ethereal noise contorting beneath layers of stacked vocals. A statuesque musical statement, “Prisoners” guides Doves’ second chapter to a peak now within touching distance, the lyrics contrasting to express unease with modern ills.
Andy Williams says of the single: “It’s about continually chasing something and not being satisfied when you eventually get it. You’ve got ‘that thing’ and you find you’re not any happier. Be careful what you wish for.”
Dropping breadcrumbs in rare interviews since they announced their return in late 2018, Jimi Goodwin, Andy and Jez Williams have remained reluctant custodians of their barely-kept secret of a new album throughout last year’s busy period of memorable festival and outdoor headline shows. Coming together to confirm themselves, once again, as an artistic unit for the first time since sessions ended on 2009’s Kingdom Of Rust, the cherished Manchester trio hint that The Universal Want has become an equally poignant and celebratory document of both time passed and time recouped.
“It’s definitely got the stamp of ‘the time’ all over it,” says Jez, when asked as to what lies ahead for fans who have waited patiently for over a decade for another record. “Everything on the album is an echo. It’s an echo of what we were going through at the time. Getting back together, the Royal Albert Hall and everything else.”
The Universal Want track listing:
1. Carousels
2. I Will Not Hide
3. Broken Eyes
4. For Tomorrow
5. Cathedrals Of The Mind
6. Prisoners
7. Cycle Of Hurt
8. Mother Silver Lake
9. Universal Want
10. Forest House
Dashboard Confessional Announces The Early Days Vinyl Reissue Series
Dashboard Confessional continue this year’s DC20 20th anniversary celebration by announcing The Early Days, a vinyl reissue series spotlighting the albums and EPs that defined the band’s formative years, and cemented singer/songwriter Chris Carrabba as one of the most vital voices that would reshape the musical landscape for years to come. The series kicks off with the first-ever vinyl pressing of 2001’s The Places You Have Come To Fear The Most, set for release on July 31st, 2020. A long-awaited vinyl re-release of 2000’s The Swiss Army Romance as well as a first-time pressing of 2002’s MTV Unplugged 2.0 will also follow later this year, and all will be available in multiple collectible, limited edition variants in addition to a non-limited edition run of standard black vinyl.
Two of the limited edition color vinyl versions of Places, in addition to black vinyl, are now available for pre-order HERE. The splatter color vinyl can be purchased only via the DashboardConfessional.com online store, while the cloudy orange and clear vinyl is available only via independent record stores, a community that has long-supported Dashboard Confessional. A yellow and blue vinyl, limited to only 1,000 copies, can be found exclusively at VinylMePlease.com, beginning tomorrow, July 10th.
The band has also announced an upcoming partnership with Mondo to release three EPs for the very first time on vinyl this year: 2001’s So Impossible, 2002’s Summers Kiss, and a newly created Spider-Man 2 EP. Mondo is an expanding enterprise with a passionate love of film, art, music and pop culture, best known for creating limited-edition posters, vinyl soundtracks, premium collectibles and games. Based in Austin, Texas, the team collaborates with an international network of talented artists and creators to produce the highest quality products inspired by licensed properties and original IPs. More details about the limited edition EPs will be announced later this year.
This year’s 20th celebration also included the release of Dashboard Confessional’s first-ever career-spanning compilation, The Best Ones Of The Best Ones, and their own installment in the Spotify Singles series (a reimagining of their breakthrough hit “Screaming Infidelities” and a cover of Post Malone’s “Circles”). After having to cancel the remainder of a predominantly sold-out tour of intimate rooms across the U.S. and Canada, Carrabba helmed a series of livestreams in late April. Most notably was the career-spanning charity show ‘As Social As I Get Now,’ which raised over $172,000 for the Music Health Alliance, a Nashville, Tennessee-based organization partnered with the Spotify COVID-19 Music Relief project, which matched donations dollar-for-dollar.

6-Time JUNO Nominated Vocalist and Pianist Carol Welsman Invites You to “Dance With Me” This July
Six-time JUNO Award nominated jazz vocalist and pianist Carol Welsman is set to release her 13th album entitled Dance With Me, marking her foray into Latin jazz. The recording scheduled for release July 31, 2020 on Justin Time Records is an eclectic collection of international songs arranged with Latin rhythms including salsa, boleros, cha cha cha, Afro Cuban and calypso; all the while keeping within Latin jazz and traditional rhythms.
The selections include popular Latin standards adapted into English, Great American Songbook standards, original compositions, a Latin-flavored song penned by fellow Canadian Randy Bachman of Bachman Turner Overdrive, and a duet with multi-GRAMMY winning Latin superstar, Juan Luis Guerra on the title track and first single release, which is an English adaptation written by Carol of his song “Si Tú No Bailas Conmigo” (If You Don’t Dance With Me).
Carol’s co-producer, Oscar Hernández, is a four-time GRAMMY winning composer and arranger. Given Oscar’s depth of knowledge of the Latin jazz idiom, Carol commissioned him to arrange all the music for the recording. She is surrounded by a stellar line-up of Latin musicians; Justo Almario on saxophones and flute, Joey de Leon on percussion, Rene Camacho on bass and Jimmy Branly on drums. The players hail from Colombian, Puerto Rican, Mexican and Cuban ancestry respectively.
Carol met Juan Luis Guerra a few years ago in Santo Domingo and told him how much she particularly liked his composition “Si Tú No Bailas Conmigo.” She wrote an English adaptation for it, and when Juan Luis heard it, he graciously accepted her invitation to guest star on the track.
Carol’s long-time Cuban drummer Jimmy Branly was instrumental in introducing her to Latin music, especially the music of Beny Moré; one of the most popular singers Cuba has ever known. Co-lyricist Jo Perry and Carol chose a number of these Latin standards and wrote English adaptations to them, Like “Y Hoy Como Ayer” (I Think Of You), “Como Fue” (Yesterday), and “Ya Llegó La Hora” (Time to Dance Cha Cha Cha). This is likely the first time these Latin classics will be heard by English audiences.
Welsman had the good fortune of meeting fellow Canadian Randy Bachman recently, and when she heard him sing “A Taste of Paradise,” she immediately included it in her repertoire. Randy, better known for his rock-influenced songs, was deeply inspired in his youth by guitarist Lenny Breau who actually introduced him to the bossa nova and the music of Antonio Carlos Jobim.
Like on many of her previous recordings, Carol follows suit delivering two original songs on this album: “Island Lullaby” and “Revelations”; the latter of which is arranged with Afro Cuban and Venezuelan Horopo rhythms.
Carol’s strong connection with her fans has been front and center in her last two releases. For Dance With Me she embarked on her first Kickstarter campaign and the response was overwhelming. In keeping with the fan experience, Carol has launched a video contest asking fans to submit videos of them dancing to the title track. Winners of the contest, which runs through July 20th, will be included in her upcoming music video.
She has always had a passion for Latin rhythms, as can be witnessed on most of her recordings and with her debut Latin Jazz album, her international appeal now invites a whole new audience.
Dance With Me is available July 31, 2020.
