Interview
The interview process was easy. I explained the amount of information I knew about animals and got the job offer. Not many questions that you don't hear in a normal interview. People didn't seem to be passionate. Just another interview for another retail position.
Interviewed by Assistant Manager (GEL) who is usually in charge of the interview and hiring process mainly. Sat down in office for about a 30 minute interview with basic questions. Asked if I would need any accommodation/ if I was comfortable handling all kinds of animals i.e. reptiles, arachnids, small pets, etc.

Introductions and small talk into the office. It was quick and easy. General questions regarding past experience were the main focus. The whole interview lasted less than 5 minutes, and was more of a conversation to see how you interact with people.
