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. |
