End of last year I bought a used 2024 Forester Wilderness. My stupid/odd question is, how do y’all feel about it going through an automatic car wash?

The reason I ask is my car before this one was a 2008 Toyota 4Runner and several years ago I took it through an automatic car wash and side panel got ripped off of it. Came to find out it seemed like it had maybe been in a fender bender before I owned it which caused that side panel to not perfectly sit flat there. But since then I have been a bit apprehensive of automatic car washes.

This is the first Subaru I’ve owned (absolutely loving it). Also I know not everyone is a fan of automatic car washes, I’m not really either, but I do park outside under a tree 99% of the time and would like the option is at least easily rinsing the grim off of it every now and then.

Hi everyone, just wanted to post about this on here to feel a little bit less alone. I also wanted to share this to hopefully hear others experiences. I had a final interview 5/29 with a non profit organization. (Full timeline: applied 4/29, contacted 5/1, phone screen 5/5, contacted 5/20 for second interview). Was told they were hoping to make a decision within the 1-2 weeks. On 6/9 I noticed my application status in Jobvite go from “in process” to “closed” and it freaked me out a bit so I sent a follow up email. Didn’t hear anything so I sent one more follow up on 6/16. And I’m sure you can already guess, it’s been radio silence. Obviously, I haven’t necessarily been rejected but all the signs point towards not getting it.

I would love to hear anyone else’s experiences with something like this, whether it ended positively or negatively, just to feel some solidarity since I know I’m not the only one whose going/gone through this.

Also I know “don’t put your emotions into your job search” and I definitely try not to. It was a position in an industry that I’m trying to break into and it was my first interview in a while so obviously I was very excited I made it to the final interview. I’ve been told by many professionals in many different industries that I have the skills, smarts, etc. I just need someone to take a chance on me so when it felt like someone finally had, I think it’s obvious why it hurts so much right now.

I look forward to hearing from any of y’all. Thank you so much in advance for any stories or advice you’re willing to share!

Hey everyone! I would love some advice from any registrars or anyone in admin positions in zoos/aquariums. I want to try to break into the zoo/aquarium industry as it’s where my passion lies. I’m not really wanting to be a keeper, and don’t really have the education background for it anyways, but I’m very interested in a registrar position.

Little background about me just to give some context since my education and job experience is all over the place: I have a BFA in film and tv production and just this past week finished a graduate certificate in GIS. I worked as a contract video editor for a few years and worked part time retail for the past 8 years (recently laid off cause my store closed). I’ve struggled for the past 5 years to find any full time position in any of the fields I’ve pursued cause I “lack the experience”

Anyways, my questions for you are:

- Is the ZRA training certificate worth it? Especially for someone who doesn’t have the experience working in this industry, would I be wasting my time?

- How transferable is the ZRA training certificate for other industries? If I had to start gaining experience somewhere else before making it into this industry

- How often do registrar/other admin positions become available? I do keep a close eye on the AZA job site but mainly see keeper positions

Thank you so much in advance for anyone who replies to this! I look forward to hearing any advice anyone may have!
