Work at a pet store

SAE:	Work at a pet store
Description:
Placement in a pet store is an excellent opportunity to care for and learn about animals without having to purchase the supplies and equipment necessary to raise them. Duties in the store require a great deal of customer service, business skills, animal caretaking, and willingness to learn. It is important to find an employment situation where you can work together with other employees and supervisors. Duties in the store depend on the types of animals in the store. Some of the duties you may be required to conduct include: cleaning kennels, cages, and pens, exercising animals, general caretaking (feeding, washing, clipping), arranging displays, inventory, organizing items for sale, assisting customers, running the cash register, locating information about certain animals, and attending employee meetings. The SAE is an ideal situation to be with animals and serve customers at the same time. Written by Kim Anderson
