Working for Charlotte County. I had to work with a group of men that were working until retirement and we would work for about 2 to 3 hours a day and then we would have to go hide somewhere for the next 8 to 9 hours. I did go to the supervisor - just to feel him out about the situation and the next day about six of the guys that I worked with, met me in the parking lot and I was told not to come back or I would be "sorry". What is the most important lesson you have learnt throughout your career? To work hard and just do your job. What unique skills do you have? I have a special way with animals.

My honest and genuine love for animals.I love to see them come out of their shells and start trusting humans again. What are the least interesting aspects of your field? When I am working with an animal that has been so badly abused that it just will not trust a human,again. These animals have to be placed in special homes with special people that realize what they have. Please replace this with a question of your own Why is it almost impossible to find a position working with animals. I have been applying over the internet and through newspapers, etc. for over a year now and can not even get considered for an interview. I am very willing to relocate.
