As an animal shelter worker, there will always be tasks that you don't enjoy. From scooping poop to dealing with low funds and cost-cutting, you will experience trying times. Tell the interviewer about how your passion keeps you going! Talk about the little things you do to stay motivated. You will always have your coworkers for support, so expressing how you make an effort to develop those relationships is another great thing to share!
