I applied online. I interviewed at Essex County Turtle Back Zoo (Newark, NJ) in Mar 2020
Interview
The interview process was short and simple. They ask you generic questions, gauge your availability, explain the different area rotations you will be working in, and give you a chance to ask questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q: What relevant experience do you have working with animals? What relevant experience do you have working with guest relations?
Phone call for 30 minutes or less with the farm manager. She asked basic questions and some of the questions were logistical. Questions asking about if you are taking any vacations, if you feel comfortable handling animals, etc.
