Maybe you should take Vinnie & Skye with you? They'd have to give you the job then!

Good luck, hope it goes really well for you!

I had a group interview a couple of weeks ago - it wasn't nearly as bad as I expected, it takes the pressure of a bit as you're not as 'in the spotlight' as you would be if you were at a one-to-one interview Smile

Can you think of some questions to ask them? I always ask - Why is the job available? Some others for you to consider may be :

What code of ethics do you follow?

Do you offer recognised training in animal behaviour, nutrition (there are proposed standards for these things)?

Good luck, please let us know how you get on. Don't forget you are also interviewing them as a possible employer. Wink

Be sure to remember the manual handling procedures for the stock off loading. Bend you knees not your back, you never know what they will be watching you for. Be yourself they would be mugs not to take you on. Big Grin
