Prerequisite Skills

Non-Negotiable Competencies

Be Punctual - Manage your time effectively, and learn healthy work-life balance. This job is not for those that are perpetually late.
Be Constructive, Not Destructive - Greatness is achieved by maintaining a balance of problem seeking and problem solving. Bad attitudes and complaints are simply not tolerated.
Be Willing To Address Issues - Conflict managed well leads to growth; conflict managed poorly leads to destruction. If you avoid tough conversations or let problems fester, this role isn’t the right fit for you.
Be Ethical - Do the right thing for all, even when no one is watching. If you justify dishonesty or misconduct, you won’t succeed here.

What You Must Be Willing To Learn

Become a Master Handler - We will train you to handle any animal, in any scenario. This requires extensive competency in both behavior identification and handling technique. For a good starting point, read Affective Neuroscience: The Foundations of Human and Animal Emotions by Jaak Panksepp.
Become Service Minded and People-Focused - Our job, above all else, is to inspire others to become the best versions of themselves possible. If you're serious, read The Experience by Bruce Loffler and Brian T. Church, and also read The 101 Collection by John Maxwell.
Become Business Minded - This job requires you to think like a business owner and to both understand, and contribute to, the big-picture. For reference, read these three titles by Jim Collins: Built to Last, Good to Great, and Great by Choice.
