  • Walmart Plus: Everything you need to know

    3 Things to Know About Walmart+

    2 Min Read

    If Walmart is your favorite store, you’ll surely love its new membership service, Walmart Plus, which offers customers free, unlimited same-day delivery service, fuel discounts and more.

    In this article, we’re going to tell you everything you need to know about Walmart Plus.

    The Bentonville, Arkansas-based company has been testing an Amazon Prime rival for some time now and is ready to debut amid the coronavirus pandemic.

    Here are three things to know about Walmart Plus.

    What is Walmart Plus and What Do You Get With It?

    Walmart Plus is the company’s new membership plan similar to Sam’s Club, which it owns. Here are some of the top benefits that come with Walmart Plus:

    • Unlimited free delivery
    • Scan & Go shopping in the Walmart app
    •  5 cents a gallon fuel discounts at Walmarts

    How To Sign Up For Walmart Plus?

    Walmart says the new membership service began on September 15, 2020. So basically, you get two weeks free service before your plan begins on October 1.

    The two-week grace period is also plenty of time to see how your benefits pan out when you order from Walmart.com for same day, next day or two-day delivery.

    You can sign up for Walmart Plus at walmart.com/plus.

    How Much Does Walmart Plus Cost?

    Walmart Plus costs $98 a year or $12.95 a month, the retailer says. If you want to test out the service before committing to buy it, there’s a 15-day free trial period.

    Walmart is obviously trying to compete with Prime here, making the price a tad bit cheaper than Amazon’s monthly membership costs.

    Last Words

    Walmart says it will add even more perks to Walmart Plus “in the future,” but doesn’t elaborate.

    If saving money is something you’re serious about, AtlantaFi.com has a lot of resources to help you.

  • How to do a interview follow-up for a job

    How To Follow Up On A Job Interview

    3 Min Read

    If you’ve interviewed for a job that you feel good about, one of the best ways to increase your chances of getting it is by following up.

    A post-interview followup is a standard protocol in today’s job market and should be prepared for as thoroughly as the interview. This article is going to show you what to say when you followup your job interview.

    How To Follow Up After A Job Interview

    You always want a way to stand out from other job candidates. You want to keep the hiring manager or recruiter thinking about you after the interview.

    Recruiters are humans like you and I. They are more apt to remember job candidates that they have spoken to or interacted with more recently.

    Why You Should Always Say ‘Thank You’ After A Job Interview

    Everyone likes to hear kind words about them. In a job setting, good manners can go a long way.

    If you simply write your hiring manager or recruiter a nice note saying “thank you,” you set yourself a part. 

    Another benefit is you get to reinforce some of the values you portrayed during your interview.

    That’s why you should always follow up with them after you’re done interviewing. Here’s a sample email that has worked for me in the past.

    Hello, this is [name], I just want to say that I very much appreciated our interview.

    I look forward to hearing from you in the near future and am confident that given the chance,  my specific skill sets, especially my attention to detail (or experience related to the job) can make a difference in your organization.

    Of course, you can tweak that correspondence anyway you see fit. The point is to say something that promotes who you are and your skills.

    Always commend the interviewer for a job well done. Who doesn’t like to feel good, right?

    When Should You Follow Up  After The Interview?

    You may be wondering when is the best time to follow up after your interview. 

    There is no specific set time that works best when it comes to reaching back out to the interviewer or recruiter. Some people may choose to do so a day or two days later. Some may prefer to follow up three days later.

    It really depends on what the interviewer has going on and whether they’re in a rush to fill the position.

    Conclusion

    A followup letter, postcard or email is a necessity in today’s job market. The biggest obstacle to making it happen is getting the email address of the hiring manager or recruiter.

    We currently have job articles that show you high-paying jobs, those close to downtown and even side hustles you might like.
     
    If you’re looking to get hired in Atlanta right now, there’s a very real possibility that you can land your dream job.

  • Blaze Steak and Seafood opening in Atlanta

    Kandi Burruss, Todd Tucker Announce New Atlanta Restaurant

    3 Min Read

    Atlanta reality TV star couple and entrepreneurs Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker are expanding their restaurant business. The “Real Housewives of Atlanta” stars already have a hit with their Old Lady Gang restaurants. Now, they’re starting a new venture.
    Tucker announced a new restaurant, Blaze Steak & Seafood, which is named after their daughter. Will it become one of the best steakhouses in Atlanta? That remains to be seen.

    On Instagram, Tucker said, “I live in Southwest Atlanta and always asked why we don’t have certain restaurants in our area (Black Area). But I’m not asking any more [sic]! I will build what we want and what we need in our communities! They better not let me figure out how to build my own grocery store!”

    A post shared by Todd Tucker (@todd167) on

    Tucker has been very open about the reason why he wanted to open Blaze Seafood and Steakhouse.

    “As you may know, we live on the Southside of Atlanta, so my thoughts were, we need places to go on our side of town.”

    “We’re starting Blaze Steak and Seafood, where you can come and get some crab legs, shrimp, boiled oysters, kind of like that New Orleans-style thing,” Tucker goes on to say. “Just some good hearty food. It’s named after our daughter. With the social distancing, we don’t know what’s going to happen as far as capacity, but we’re going to make it nice. We’re going to make it a fun establishment and we’re hoping for the best.”

    Where Is Blaze Seafood And Steakhouse Located In Atlanta?

    Blaze Seafood and Steakhouse is located at 3752 Cascade Rd, Ste #100, Atlanta, GA. Here is a map to help you find it.

    Atlanta has a handful of top black grocery stores, but could always use more, especially in the underprivileged communities.
     
    There’s no word so far on where Blaze Steak & Seafood will be located. But it’s not the first time, an Atlanta celebrity opened a restaurant in the name of their child. 

    Way back in the late 1990s, Sean “Puffy” Combs opened Justin’s on Peachtree Road in Buckhead. Justin is the name of one of his sons.
     
    More Atlanta restaurants are opening this year, and we’re here for it. Here are the best restaurants on Atlanta’s southside.

    The city has some good restaurants in each quadrant of the city: East, West, North, South. All you need to do is think about what you have a taste for. Italian? Soul food? Tex-Mex? Atlanta has it all.

    Slutty Vegan is one of the best black restaurants in Atlanta, and there are plenty others. If you like barbecue, see our list of the Best Atlanta BBQ Restaurants.
