Work at the zoo

added by TFTM 13 years ago O

You are looking through the newspaper, and one ad catches your eye. The local zoo is looking for work. It even says that employers get free food and boarding! This was too good to be true, and you call the number in the paper.

"Biological Research Zoo, how may I help you" you hear a female voice on the phone. You are surprised at the odd name of the zoo, but it probably means they just have a large research department there or something.
"I was looking to apply for the job in your ad" you say cheerfully.
"Oh, excellent! Come right down, and we'll be ready for an interview." she said. After exchanging farewells, you hang up, and head down to the zoo. It is pretty large zoo, and you enter. There were many people there, all crowding around the ticket booths. You explain that you are applying for a job. The lady at the ticket booth hands you a map, and points you in the right direction. You look at the map, and you see a large section is labeled "Weird and Wondrous Creatures", and a small note saying that it costs $50 extra to get into that section, and that maps of that area are given upon arrival. You notice that the office that you are going to is connected to the special section of the zoo. You finally make it there, and enter the building. The secretary leads you to a small office, and you are greeted by an older lady who is the owner of the entire zoo. She explains that there is lodging here for all employees, and meals are provided, but that because work is short, the contract she would sign would not allow you to switch jobs for five years, but on the upside, it would prevent the company from firing you for five years. You need a job, and this would ensure a good job for half a decade. This was perfect! She explains that pay, much more than you expect a salary to be for a zoo worker. She asks you about past jobs, and although you haven't had any work with animals, she explains that that you would do fine. After about an hour, you are signing the contract.
"What type of animal would you like to work with?" your interviewer asked.
