Have you ever heard the adage, "You can tell a lot about a person from their shoes?" It's true - scuffed, dirty shoes means that you are sloppy, pay no attention to detail, have no professional polish, and no ambition. Nobody wants a potential employer to think that so clean and polish your shoes every time you go for an interview (or networking meeting, or informational interview, or dropping off your resume . . you get the drift).

I get a lot of people interested in working with animals; being a bit of an animal aficionado myself, I've taken the liberty of rustling up a few web sites that may be of interest to animal lovers covering a variety of career or service options: Not all zoo jobs are for veterinarians - check out the Association of Zoos & Aquariums! Interested in dog training? Check out the National K-9 Learning Center in Columbus (and look for a Witt Alum in the instructor section!) Animal Assisted Therapy has become more accepted in health care facilities and is expanding to school systems - and guess what? There's a training center and AAT group right here in Springfield! If you want to talk to a veterinarian (or do an informational interview or job shadow), here is a listing of the local vets and animal hospitals. There are a plethora of sites concerning animal rights and activism - I can only scratch the surface, but each offer information as well as job opportunities and internships (you may have to dig a bit for that): |
