Work was going kind of rough at the Cache Humane Society. There was a lot of unneeded drama going on and it just wasn't a place that I was looking forward to going to every day. Don't get me wrong I loved the difference I felt like I was making. I loved all my animals and being able to be there for them, but I was ready for something new. I was getting burnt out, really fast. I had started looking for a new job a couple month previous but not wasn't being super serious about it. I had applied to maybe 4 places when I heard back from this JSPA in mid July. They said there were really interested in my work history and that they wanted to do a Skype interview. I was so excited to hear back from this company, I had heard a lot of things about them so you can believe how nervous I was for the interview! A week later I had it and thought that it had gone very well and was anxiously awaiting to hear back from them. A couple of days later they contacted me with the good news that they decided they wanted to do a second, in person, interview. Boy you should have seen me when they said that! I was jumping up and down out of excitement. On August 13th I flew down to Sea World, Orlando for my Interview with Joel Slaven's Professional Animals at the Pet's Ahoy show. The interview went really well and lasted almost the whole day. At they end of it they gave me the good news that they did want to hire me! What came next threw me for a loop, they were not going to hire me for the Orlando location but instead they were going to send me to the Busch Gardens, Williamsburg, Virginia location! I had no idea where that was and had never heard of this Busch Gardens but I was ecstatic nonetheless! The rest of the day and the morning of the next I spent with two of my friends enjoying Sea World, catching up with each other, and celebrating my new job.
