Tell me about a time you went above and beyond the expectations of your position to care for an animal.

Think about a time you went beyond your normal responsibilities to care for an animal. Talk about why you felt the need to go beyond what was required of your role at that particular time.

"At one point, I was temporarily laid off. At that time, there were a few animals that I worked with that responded very well to me but not to other staff members. While I was laid off, I volunteered to come in for a few hours each day to continue to work with those animals. I did not want to see those animals stressed or experience setbacks while I was not there to care for them."
