Interview at a animal shelter as a kennel attendant?
Asked by Clever Mary Jane Shoes
What should I wear and expect. What questions should I ask. I need a job! lol Thanks!

Best Answer:
Even though your dress at the job would be pretty casual, for any interview it's always a good idea to dress professionally and neatly. When speaking, answer questions fully (not just yes or no) but don't overdo it. A firm handshake and good eye contact go a long way. They may ask you why you want the job. Anyone would automatically say "I love animals" which is fine, but you need more than that. You can be honest that you need a job, but think this will be both fun and rewarding as you'll be working with animals but also helping them to be happy and find new homes. You recognize the work will be hard and a bit dirty, but you are willing to pay your dues as you work your way up. Ask questions about how the shelter operates, what is expected of you, what opportunities exist for advancement, etc. Be confident, be honest, be relaxed, and remember to send a thank you note. Good luck.
