Thank you to everyone who responded to my previous post. I apparently did not get the EHS job at Amazon. They sent me this a bit ago.

"Congratulations! I'm pleased to inform you that have you been inclined for the role. Unfortunately, the position at the site you interviewed for has been filled or closed.

Anyone not already working in the field recently take the REHS exam? Did you pass? What did you study prior? Some mentioned using the Tulane notes and Coles quizlet. Others said to study the fda food code and vectors. Someone else said they took the expensive Saraniecki online course.

Anyone pass not taking the expensive online Saraniecki course?

Anyone have/selling the Saraniecki book? I dont want his online course because I dont have the patience to watch it. But I heard the book is a good study source along with the Coles Quizlet. I tried to watch the Tulane videos but they were absolutely awful.

Has the NYC Macys put out their Christmas stuff yet? I know they usually use an Uber flor field with trees and decor. Anyone by chance have pictures of what they might have for the Dept 56 villages this year?

Had anyone taken the REHS exam recently? Did you find it was mostly from the Coles study info on Quizlet? Someone mentioned it was almost all from that.

Does the Herald Square store in NYC setup any Halloween decor? And when do they set up their large Christmas section on the upper floor?

**My loan was for $24,000 from Wells Fargo. Then the school sent back $8000. So I owed $16,000. The loan got sent to Firstmark and now I owe $42,000. My payments doubled. Interest is ridiculous. So now I will end up defaulting.

Anyone have luck or stories dealing with a defaulted Firstmark student loan? I had paid $8883 to Wells Fargo before it was transferred and now it is still at over 40 grand.

Anyone manage to default and then settle for the original balance to forgo all the interest? I only owe about 7 grand on the original principle the rest, is interest.

And Firstmark had the loan paperwork listed as personal loan vs student loan

Anyone consolidate Parent plus loans to use for PSLF? I already have a large pslf consolidation. If so, how fast did it process? I dont want to lose my current payment counts but would be nice to roll the PPl loans into it

For those who went to ODS, what was the time span from sending info to a medical recruiter, to then Meps etc?
