Transferable skills…..🧐 Hiring people from other sectors can bring real added benefits to some businesses especially in new sectors or sectors where there is a shortage of candidates. You just need to make sure you have a thorough process to test those skills or you could make some costly mistakes…see below 😩 Happy National Pets Day all…..

I've had a lot of jobs: - Roofer - Mailman - Paperboy - Office temp - Pub manager - Delivered dairy - Factory assistant - Packaging chicken - Silver service waiter - Events photographer Among others, then led a team of tech recruiters before opening my own recruiting firm. And, of course, I'm now the founder of White Path Career Coaching. The takeaways from all those jobs: - They all build skills for your growth, personally and professionally. - Any job that adds value to just 1 person deserves respect. - Doing something others won't gives you an edge. What's the most unusual job you've ever had? Let me know in the comments below. ↴ ________________ → all my content on one page: follow #DavidsDaily ⤴ visit my profile page and hit [Follow] + my 🔔 #LinkedIn #Branding #JobSearch #Careers

If you are a zoo keeper or guide that has decided to make the zoo industry your career, then you need to a line yourself with someone that has faced the same experiences that you will encounter during your career. This of course is equally important for those who are in management positions. Think about it. Who logically should you be seeking advice and guidance from? Someone who has been there and successfully overcome the problems and found the solution? Or Someone who was just handed their position in management without really doing any work or gained any skills or experience and have just sat there without any idea on how to progress and let others do the work and face the responsibility? The answer is obvious, we should never take advice or guidance from someone who hasn't been on the same road that you are now on. Our industry has many want to be people in it that have little to no experience and knowledge about the zoo industry, but fortunately we also have just as many that have done the hard work and gained experience along the way. True leaders have been there and lead by example and are willing to show you the way. [email protected]

While this seems funny at first glance, the sad reality is that this does happen from time to time within the zoo industry, particularly in places where the management of a zoo or safari park is overseen by people with poor to no management skills. These zoos or safari parks will often employed staff with little to no experience because they are cheaper than experienced staff or because they are friends or relatives of those doing the employing. If we in the zoo industry wish to continue moving ahead and be taken seriously as a professional industry, then all should shun this type of behavior. Hiring inexperienced staff to care for the collection or to oversee the daily management of the park because they are a cheaper alternative to the more experienced professionals within our industry in an attempt to save a few dollars, is often the mistake made by poor managers and is a sure fire recipe for disaster. The saying "you get what you pay for" is definitely true in the case of your park. If the staff caring for the collection, guiding, or management only consider their position as just a job and have no passion for what they do, then how can anyone except them to do their job to a high level and to have any loyalty to your zoo or safari park.
