QUESTION 16 OF 32

Have you ever mentored an apprentice zookeeper?

If you have mentored an apprentice zookeeper,

"Yes, I have mentored about 3 various apprentice zookeepers in my career. Every summer I have been given a new apprentice to work with. I quite enjoy it as it tests my own knowledge on topics I haven't necessarily revisited in awhile."

Anonymous Answer

No, but I have had to train other volunteers whilst working at HART wildlife rescue, including showing them the basics of feeding, cleaning, and health checking.

Amanda's Feedback

You've done a good job of pivoting from the negative of not having mentored a zookeeper toward a positive by sharing that you've trained volunteers. Now, take it a step further by being more specific. Explain how many volunteers you've trained and what species of animals you've educated them about when it comes to feeding, cleaning, or completing health checks. This helps the interviewer better understand your ability to share educational information and work with others.
