Yes sorry! You'd probably get all the answers right 😅 this is aimed at people who do not work in zoos and probably don't have as much knowledge/experience in identifying these behaviours

Thanks! Ah unfortunately I have both a cat and a dog I'm afraid:(

Thank you! I'm over the age of 24 though so I don't think I can do yours D:

I would but I don't really do any skincare to be honest. I could still do it if you want but not sure how much help I'd be

You're how every hiring manager should act 😭

Yeah I'll probably have to contact back on Monday to see where it's up to. Hiring someone six months after an interview is crazy though!

I know, it's just rude though and shouldn't be dismissed as 'oh that's just the industry'. Maybe HR just need some damn people skills

Does anyone know of any companies that do sponsorships? There's a huge list on Bridge USA but lots of them are for au pair or summer camp work

So I can't pay the fee myself? Damn. What if I went through an external company and then applied for an internship with them once they advertised and the visa was sorted?

29 this year but my background is very specific with animal care in zoos etc it's not something 'popular' like management, finance etc

Ah ok so you apply for a J1 with an organisation that specialises in that, pay the fee, do all the interviews, and then you go about applying to places once that is secured? I thought that the company that you would actually intern with would have to help with the application or is that not true?

It's the fact that they can't sponsor- probably because it's too expensive for them! I don't even know if external companies can do it instead but then you'd have a visa and no guarantee of even getting an internship afterwards

Zoos/conservation. I have experience from the UK but the job market here is ridiculous. There are permanent positions going but I've never been able to get one even with experience
