    So I'm doing an essay for my English class on a career and I chose zookeeper. One of those parts is a Q&A and my teacher said internet interviews will do. So I'm wondering if they're any actual keepers here that can help me out.

    So here we go.
    1. How did you get to where you are today?
    2. Where did you got to school and for how long?
    3. What strengths do you think are necessary to do the job?
    4. How long have you been in this position?
    5. What do like most about the job? Is there an easy part of the job?
    6. What is your least favorite part? What is the hardest part of the job?
    7. What is a typical day like?
    8. What are your responsibilities?
    9. How is your job performance evaluated?
    10.Tell me about a time of conflict...a time of joy/satisfaction
    11. Is there a benefit package? What are the benefits?
    12. Do you take work home?
    13. Do you get stressed out?
    14. How much do people make? What are the salaries?

    Thanks in advance.
