Do you think the reason you can’t find a job is because you have no sought after skillsets?
Haha wow anon! :) what an insightful take! And certainly not one that I've been thinking about constantly for years of my life even when I am employed! :)
Definitely not something that's been haunting me after I dropped out of college three (3) times, especially after I went through the gifted and talented programs in grade school where I was told I would be able to go to any college I wanted, and then get any job under the sun! :) Which I totally don't beat myself up about regularly because I never lived up to those expectations, and now work an hourly job knowing full well a huge portion of my peers are now doctoral students or otherwise have flourishing careers! :) (Which, side note, just to break character here, I'm super jazzed for them for that. Seriously. I do not hold any of this against them. I hold all of this against the very broken system I was in. Add on top of that I had ADHD the whole time and didn't get diagnosed until I was 20... yeah.)
And certainly the reason I haven't found a job has nothing to do with the fact that I started this job search barely two weeks ago because that's when I found out the company I work for currently is shutting down, or the fact I've applied to maybe a dozen jobs in total since then. Certainly not.
But yeah, I know for sure that seven years in customer service, thriving in high-pressure fast-paced environments, a wide array of computer and other technology skills, data analysis, route optimization, attention to detail, effective communication, automotive knowledge, and being a very quick learner aren't at all sought after skills. Neither is a CompTIA A+ certification, which I'm working on getting ASAP.
So I guess I should just totally give up and cease to exist, huh anon? :)
Literally what the hell is wrong with you? No sought after skills. Eat my ass. The reason I haven't found a job yet is because I've barely been looking, because I still work for my current employer for another two weeks. Add on top of that the fact that employers love to just post jobs and not actually respond to any applicants, then cry about how "no one wants to work," I know full well this is going to take some time. I hope when you find yourself in this situation at some point in your life, you have the sought after skills to find a job in less than two weeks. Fuck off.

Today's WTF Let's say you own a Kia vehicle from the latter half of the 2010s. And you need to replace one of your key fobs, because, Reasons. And you call up, not the local dealership -- they have spent more than 20 years establishing themselves as con artists and predatory incompetents, after all -- but the one in the next county over. It's an hour drive away, but at least they won't destroy a vehicle during regular maintenance.
Here are the steps this Official Kia Dealership wanted me to take:
1. Collect the VIN from my vehicle and the Special Key Code from that little yellow paper they handed the original owner back when they first bought the car.
2. Contact Kia Corporate. By phone.
3. Navigate their phone tree until someone can understand my personal accent enough to appreciate my Tale of Woe.
4. Prove I am me, and give them all this identifying info about my car and its key.
5. Pay them to create a properly-shaped metal key part in a switchblade-style key fob. Brand new. With the little chip and the four buttons, one of which looks like it opens my rear door but in fact does not. You know, typical car key fob.
6. Which they are Not Going To Program.
7. No, they then ship it to the Official Kia Dealership In Question.
8. Do I sincerely believe Official Kia Dealership In Question will contact me when they finally have my fob in their custody? Gosh no. They never have contacted me when they finally got a part in before. Guess I'm going to be calling them up every day to ask if they have it.
9. Rearrange my life so I can get Spouse's Key to my Kia. Clear my schedule for a weekday.
10. Drive an hour through country lanes and interstates and over a moderately wide river. During the Morning Gridlock Commute With Bonus Semi Truck Fleets. In order to join the line at their service bay as close to 7:30 in the morning as I can manage.
11. They do not make appointments at that Official Kia Service Department any more, you see. For anything. It's all "first come, first served".
12. Pay the Official Kia Dealership an additional $75 to do the programming of my freshly shipped key fob that supposedly is pre-shaped to match my factory installed ignition.
13. Boy oh boy, I sure hope it works! Without borking Spouse's Key!
Listen, I'm relieved to have an "automotive locksmith" in my county who is willing to cut AND program a refurbished OEM key fob that I bought online. Automotive Locksmith has plenty of certifications and a variety of mostly positive reviews, going back several years.
But now I gotta navigate the Kia Corporate phone tree specifically so I can ask them what the smurf is going on in Decatur, Alabama. Didn't they used to be functional?

Understanding SASO and SABER Certifications: A Comprehensive Guide
Introduction to SASO and SABER Certifications
In the ever-evolving world of international trade, SASO (Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization) and SABER (Saudi Product Safety Program) certifications have emerged as pivotal components for ensuring product compliance and safety within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). These certifications are crucial for businesses looking to enter or expand their presence in the Saudi market. This comprehensive guide delves into the intricacies of SASO and SABER certifications, providing essential insights for businesses aiming to achieve compliance and secure their foothold in the region.
Tumblr media
What is SASO Certification?
Overview of SASO
SASO, established in 1972, is a governmental body responsible for setting standards for products, services, and measurement systems in Saudi Arabia. The organization's primary goal is to safeguard public health, safety, and the environment by ensuring that all products entering the Saudi market adhere to stringent quality standards.
Importance of SASO Certification
SASO certification is mandatory for a wide range of products, including electrical appliances, automotive parts, building materials, and more. Obtaining SASO certification signifies that a product has been rigorously tested and meets the necessary safety and quality standards established by the Saudi authorities. This certification is a testament to a product's compliance with international standards and its suitability for the Saudi market.
What is SABER Certification?
Introduction to SABER
SABER is an electronic certification and conformity assessment system introduced by SASO to streamline the process of obtaining product certification. Launched in 2019, SABER aims to enhance the efficiency and transparency of the certification process, reducing the time and effort required for businesses to achieve compliance.
Role of SABER in Product Certification
SABER serves as a digital platform where importers, manufacturers, and certification bodies can manage the entire certification process online. Through SABER, businesses can register their products, submit necessary documentation, and track the status of their certification applications. The system also facilitates communication between stakeholders, ensuring a smooth and efficient certification process.
The Certification Process: From Registration to Approval
Step-by-Step Guide to SASO Certification
Identify Applicable Standards: Determine the specific SASO standards relevant to your product category. These standards outline the technical and safety requirements your product must meet.
Select an Accredited Laboratory: Choose a laboratory accredited by SASO to conduct the necessary tests on your product. The laboratory will evaluate your product's compliance with the applicable standards.
Submit Documentation: Prepare and submit the required documentation, including test reports, product specifications, and technical files, to the SASO certification body.
Product Testing and Evaluation: The accredited laboratory conducts rigorous testing of your product to ensure it meets the specified standards. Any non-compliance issues must be addressed and rectified.
Obtain Certificate of Conformity (CoC): Once your product passes the testing phase, a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) is issued. This certificate is essential for customs clearance and product entry into the Saudi market.
Navigating the SABER Certification Process
Register on the SABER Platform: Create an account on the SABER portal and register your business and products. Provide accurate and complete information to facilitate the certification process.
Product Classification: Classify your products according to the relevant technical regulations and standards. This classification helps determine the specific requirements your product must meet.
Select a Conformity Assessment Body (CAB): Choose an approved Conformity Assessment Body (CAB) to conduct the necessary conformity assessment procedures for your product.
Submit Required Documents: Upload the required documentation, including test reports, product images, and technical files, to the SABER platform.
Conformity Assessment: The chosen CAB reviews the submitted documents and conducts a conformity assessment. If the product complies with the relevant standards, a Product Certificate of Conformity (P-CoC) is issued.
Shipment Certification: For each shipment of the certified product, a Shipment Certificate of Conformity (S-CoC) must be obtained. This certificate ensures that each batch of products entering the Saudi market meets the required standards.
Key Benefits of SASO and SABER Certifications
Enhanced Market Access
SASO and SABER certifications provide businesses with a competitive edge by ensuring their products meet the stringent quality and safety standards of the Saudi market. This compliance is crucial for gaining market access and expanding business opportunities in the region.
Improved Product Quality and Safety
Adhering to SASO standards and obtaining SABER certification guarantees that products are safe for use and meet high-quality benchmarks. This not only protects consumers but also enhances the reputation of the brand.
Streamlined Certification Process
The introduction of the SABER platform has significantly streamlined the certification process, reducing administrative burdens and expediting product entry into the Saudi market. The digital nature of SABER ensures a transparent and efficient certification journey.
Increased Consumer Trust
Products bearing SASO and SABER certifications are perceived as reliable and trustworthy by consumers. This increased trust can lead to higher customer satisfaction and loyalty, driving business growth and success.
Challenges and Considerations in Obtaining SASO and SABER Certifications
Understanding Regulatory Requirements
Navigating the complex regulatory landscape of SASO and SABER certifications requires a thorough understanding of the applicable standards and technical regulations. Businesses must stay updated with any changes or amendments to ensure continuous compliance.
Document Preparation and Submission
Preparing and submitting the necessary documentation for SASO and SABER certifications can be a meticulous and time-consuming process. Accurate documentation is crucial for avoiding delays and ensuring a smooth certification process.
Product Testing and Evaluation
The rigorous testing and evaluation procedures conducted by accredited laboratories and Conformity Assessment Bodies (CABs) are essential for achieving certification. Businesses must ensure their products are thoroughly tested and any non-compliance issues are addressed promptly.
Ongoing Compliance and Renewal
SASO and SABER certifications are not one-time achievements. Businesses must ensure ongoing compliance with the relevant standards and regulations. Regular renewal of certifications is necessary to maintain market access and uphold product quality.
Conclusion
In conclusion, SASO and SABER certifications play a vital role in ensuring product quality, safety, and compliance within the Saudi market. By understanding the certification processes, adhering to the relevant standards, and leveraging the benefits of these certifications, businesses can successfully navigate the complexities of international trade and secure their position in the Saudi market.

How to Find the Best BMW Repair Shop
Owning a BMW is a testament to your appreciation for superior engineering, luxury, and performance. To keep your vehicle running at its best, it’s crucial to find a repair shop that can meet the high standards set by BMW. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to find the best BMW repair shop.
1. Research and Reputation
Start by researching local BMW repair shops. Look for shops with strong reputations and positive customer reviews. Websites like Google, Yelp, and the Better Business Bureau (BBB) can provide insights into other BMW owners' experiences. Focus on shops with consistently high ratings and specific comments about the quality of service, professionalism, and customer satisfaction. Recommendations from friends, family, or colleagues who own BMWs can also be valuable.
Tumblr media
2. Check for Certifications and Specialized Training
A top-tier BMW repair shop will employ technicians who have specialized training and certifications. Look for certifications from the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) and BMW-specific training programs. BMW offers a training program called BMW STEP (Service Technician Education Program) that ensures technicians are highly skilled in handling BMW vehicles. Certified technicians have the expertise to diagnose and repair issues specific to BMW models accurately.
3. Use of OEM Parts
Using Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts is essential for maintaining the integrity and performance of your BMW. The best repair shops use genuine BMW parts that meet the exact specifications of your vehicle. These parts ensure optimal performance, safety, and longevity. Avoid shops that use aftermarket parts, which can compromise your car's quality and potentially cause more problems down the road.
4. Advanced Diagnostic Tools
BMW vehicles are equipped with sophisticated electronic systems that require advanced diagnostic tools for accurate troubleshooting. The best BMW repair shops invest in state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment specifically designed for BMWs. This technology allows technicians to pinpoint issues precisely and efficiently, ensuring effective repairs. Ask the repair shop about the diagnostic tools they use and whether they are up-to-date with the latest BMW technologies.
5. Transparent Pricing and Detailed Estimates
Transparency is a hallmark of a reputable repair service. Look for shops that provide clear, detailed estimates for repairs and maintenance. A reliable shop will break down the costs for parts and labor and explain the nature of the required repairs. They should also communicate any additional costs before proceeding with further work. Transparent pricing helps build trust and ensures you are not surprised by unexpected charges.
6. Warranty and Guarantees
A reputable BMW repair shop will offer warranties on their repairs and parts. These warranties reflect the shop’s confidence in their work and provide peace of mind that if issues arise after a repair, they will be addressed at no additional cost. Understanding the terms of these warranties is crucial. Ensure that the warranties cover both parts and labor and ask about the duration of the coverage.
7. Customer Service and Convenience
Exceptional customer service is a key component of a top-tier repair shop. Look for shops that prioritize customer satisfaction and offer conveniences such as online appointment scheduling, shuttle services, loaner cars, and comfortable waiting areas. A service center that values its customers will provide detailed records of all maintenance and repairs, which can be valuable for future service needs or when selling your vehicle.
8. Experience with BMW Models
Experience with BMW models is another critical factor. Choose a repair shop that specializes in BMWs or has extensive experience working with them. This ensures that the technicians are familiar with the unique aspects of BMW engineering and can handle any issues that arise. An experienced shop will have a proven track record of successfully repairing and maintaining BMW vehicles.
9. Environmentally Responsible Practices
Consider whether the repair shop follows environmentally responsible practices. Proper disposal of hazardous materials like oil, batteries, and coolant is essential for environmental protection. Many reputable repair shops also implement eco-friendly practices, such as recycling parts and using environmentally safe products. These practices reflect the shop's commitment to sustainability and responsible operations.
Conclusion
Finding the best BMW repair shop involves careful consideration of several factors, including reputation, certifications, use of OEM parts, diagnostic tools, transparent pricing, warranties, customer service, experience, and environmental responsibility. By selecting a repair shop that meets these criteria, you ensure your BMW receives the best possible care, maintaining its performance, reliability, and value. Investing time in finding the right service provider protects your vehicle and enhances your driving experience, allowing you to enjoy the luxury and precision that BMW is known for.

How does the warranty for a used Kia differ from that of a new one
Purchasing a vehicle, whether new or used, is a significant investment. Understanding the warranty that comes with your car is crucial to ensure that you're protected against unexpected repairs and costs down the road. 
Kia, a leading automotive manufacturer, offers one of the most comprehensive warranty programs in the industry. However, there are significant differences between the warranty for a new Kia and that for a Best Used Kia Melbourne and beyond. In this blog, we'll dive deep into the details of Kia's warranty program, exploring the differences between warranties for new and certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicles.
Kia New Car Warranty:
Kia has earned a reputation for offering one of the best warranties in the automotive industry. When you buy a brand-new Kia, you're covered by Kia's industry-leading warranty, which includes:
Limited Powertrain Warranty:
Kia offers an impressive 10-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty. This warranty covers repair or replacement of powertrain components, including the engine, transmission, and driveline.
This warranty is a testament to Kia's confidence in the quality and reliability of their vehicles.
Limited Basic Warranty:
In addition to the robust powertrain warranty, Kia offers a comprehensive 5-year/60,000-mile limited basic warranty for all new vehicles. This warranty provides coverage for repairs to nearly all components of the vehicle, giving Kia owners added peace of mind. Covered components include the electrical system, heating and cooling system, steering system, suspension system, brake system, and fuel system, among others. However, it's important to note that like most warranties, Kia's limited basic warranty excludes coverage for wear-and-tear items such as tires and brakes. Nevertheless, this warranty ensures that Kia owners are protected against unexpected repairs to essential components of their vehicles, further demonstrating Kia's commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.
The limited basic warranty provides added peace of mind for Kia owners, covering a wide range of potential issues that may arise during the first few years of ownership.
Additional Warranties and Coverages:
Apart from the powertrain and basic warranties, Kia also offers additional coverages, including:
Anti-perforation warranty: Covers perforation (rust-through) of sheet metal.
Roadside assistance: Provides 24-hour roadside assistance for five years or 60,000 miles.
Kia Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Warranty:
For those interested in purchasing a used Kia, the company offers a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program. Kia's CPO vehicles undergo a rigorous inspection process and come with additional warranty coverage:
Limited Powertrain Warranty:
Kia CPO vehicles come with a limited powertrain warranty that provides coverage for up to 10 years/100,000 miles from the vehicle's original in-service date.
This warranty offers similar coverage to the new car powertrain warranty, providing peace of mind to buyers of CPO Kia vehicles.
Limited Basic Warranty:
In addition to the powertrain warranty, Kia CPO vehicles also come with a limited basic warranty that covers repairs to nearly all components of the vehicle, excluding wear-and-tear items.
The limited basic warranty for CPO vehicles is valid for 12 months/12,000 miles from the CPO vehicle purchase date.
Inspection and Certification Process:
Before a Kia vehicle can be certified as pre-owned, it must undergo a thorough 164-point inspection by Kia-trained technicians.
Only vehicles that meet Kia's high standards for quality and condition are eligible for certification.
Difference Between New and Used Kia Warranties:
While the warranties for new and used Kia vehicles offer similar coverage, there are some key differences to be aware of:
Coverage Limits and Duration:
The main difference between the warranties for new and used Kia vehicles lies in the duration of coverage. New Kia vehicles typically come with warranties lasting 5 to 10 years, depending on the warranty type. For instance, the new car limited powertrain warranty extends up to 10 years or 100,000 miles, while the limited basic warranty covers 5 years or 60,000 miles. On the other hand, the coverage for Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Kia vehicles is slightly different. CPO Kia vehicles are covered by a 1-year/12,000-mile limited basic warranty and a 10-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty. While the coverage for CPO vehicles is similar to that of new vehicles, the duration of coverage is shorter for the basic warranty. However, the powertrain warranty remains the same, providing buyers with added peace of mind when purchasing a used Kia vehicle. 2. Additional Benefits:
New Kia vehicles often include additional benefits like roadside assistance, which may not be included with Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicles. While both new and CPO Kia vehicles offer similar warranty coverage, new vehicles may come with extra perks that enhance the ownership experience. These additional benefits can include roadside assistance, which provides drivers with peace of mind knowing that help is just a phone call away in case of emergencies. Therefore, buyers should consider these extra features when deciding between a new or CPO Kia vehicle. What's Covered Under a Used Kia Warranty?
When you purchase a used Kia vehicle, whether it's certified pre-owned or not, the warranty will cover repairs to the vehicle's powertrain and basic components. This includes:
Powertrain Components:
Engine
Transmission
Driveline
Basic Components:
Electrical system
Heating and cooling system
Steering system
Suspension system
Brake system
Fuel system
Warranty Limitations and Exclusions:
It's important to note that Kia's warranty does not cover normal wear-and-tear items, such as tires, brakes, and wiper blades.
Additionally, the warranty may not cover damage caused by accidents, misuse, or lack of proper maintenance.
Understanding Kia's Warranty Transfer Policy:
One of the advantages of purchasing a Kia vehicle is that the warranty is transferable to subsequent owners. Here's what you need to know about Kia's warranty transfer policy:
Transferable Warranty:
If you sell your Kia vehicle before the warranty expires, the remaining coverage can be transferred to the new owner.
This can increase the resale value of your Kia vehicle, as the new owner will benefit from the remaining warranty coverage.
Warranty Coverage for Subsequent Owners:
However, it's essential to understand that the warranty coverage for subsequent owners may be limited.
Subsequent owners may not receive the full duration of coverage provided to the original owner.
