I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Brookfield Zoo Chicago (Brookfield, IL) in Feb 2015
Interview
You go into a conference room with tons of tables set up, you are interviewed for less than 2 minuets then hired or not hired. If you are hired you get a sheet then they call you the following week to set you up for orientation. You have to buy khaki pants and black gym shoes, they give you one shirt and one cup for getting drinks.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do you have experience? Why the Zoo? Availability?
You likely were involved in one of our larger recruitment/interview events. For our peak season we employ 1,000-1,200 employees and are interviewing and hiring in large numbers early in the year. I am glad that you ultimately decided to take the position and join our organization.
