Job Seekers Package
PART 1
Choosing a Career |
| When
deciding on a career with animals, there are many different options to
consider; many are well known animal career choices and others you may
not have heard of or considered. Career opportunities with animals vary
from dog trainer to zoologist, vet to wildlife photographer, marine
biologist to pet sitter and many more. We will give you details of just about about every ethical career
opportunity working with animals. (We don't promote career
opportunities that involve commercial breeding or animal exploitation) |
PART 2
Training advice
|
We will give you valuable training advice and links to training organisations and institutes.
In response to the many enquiries we receive about home study courses we compiled a variety
of high quality online courses ranging from level 1 to level 5.
|
PART 3
Finding Work Experience |
Volunteering
is a great way to obtain hands on experience and a better understanding
of the many different career options open to those wishing to work with
animals. Whether you are a school leaver, seeking a career change, or
are undecided about whether working within the animal welfare sector is
for you, then voluntary work is a great way to find out.
At the same time as giving you the tremendous satisfaction of helping
animals in need, your volunteer work can also be an excellent career
move as well as providing you with a reference. The experience will
enable you to gain experience in the specific type of animal care that
you aspire to work in. |
PART 4
Preparing a CV |
|
A well written CV is essential to impress employers, particularly if
you are changing your career path. Animal Jobs Direct has teamed up
with one of the UK’s leading professional CV writing services who can
provide you with an interview winning CV to help you take the first
steps towards a career working with animals. |
PART 5
Finding a Job
|
| If
you want to work with animals, you'll find that there are many
different options and a huge array of job opportunities. You may want
to work directly with animals: e.g. as a vet, dog warden, RSPCA
Inspector, animal care assistant, ranger, animal behaviourist, etc. Or,
you may want to work with animals in a less hands-on way, in an office
based environment in management, administrative, fundraising or
personnel positions. We will provide you with links to organisations
that have
current job vacancies. |
PART 6
Preparing for the Interview |
| As part of this package you will also receive an interview ebook
covering absolutely everything from researching a potential employer to
formulating answers to tough interview questions. |
