Vet Tech to Zookeeper?

So hard to be a zookeeper!! I have done a lot to try to be one!!?

  • Ugh....applying for jobs as a zookeeper is painful! lol I am trying to submitt my resume to a bunch of different places and no such luck! I have done internships with marine mammals, large carnivores and primates...did field work, research work, and worked as a vet tech for years. And also did volunteer work at a wildlife rehab center! WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO DO? Can anyone help me? Do I just have to know someone to get in? All politics?

  • Answer:

    Sorry, I know your frustrated. It's a tough market to get a job in. Try volunteering at the zoo that you applied at. Get yourself known by some of the keepers. Keep a good attitude and maybe they will recommend you. But be patient, this can take some time. Just curious, what zoo did you apply at Good luck!
