Your paragraph is well written, with only a few minor grammar and usage issues. Here are a couple of corrections and suggestions:
"I have been checking the status of the positions I applied for at Willmut Gas, but no action has been taken yet. However, it seems that the cashier position has been removed from the job posting list (even though I applied for it)."
1. Change "for" to "of" in "checking for the status."
2. Add "the" before "positions" to make it "the positions I applied for."
3. Change "no actions" to "no action."
4. Add "it seems" to indicate a possibility or uncertainty.
5. Change "but" to "however" for a smoother transition.
6. Add "even though" to emphasize the contrast between the removal of the position and your application.
Overall, your English grammar and usage in this paragraph is clear and understandable. Keep up the good work!
