Now the fun bit.
Tell us why you think you are suitable for a role at Pennywell Farm? Perhaps tell us about your interests and what you think you can bring to the team here. No need for an essay, just a few lines!
Sell yourself, why should we invite you for an interview?
So why Pennywell Farm and not somewhere else?
Animals are just a small part of what we deliver here at Pennywell. We mainly work with people and aim to deliver an experience that visitors will remember! Most of our roles are visitor facing not directly working with animals, it's important to know that when applying!
We are looking for someone with the right attitude and work ethic. It is a really fun work environment but it is hard work and putting visitors first takes energy and enthusiasm. Explain why you think you're the right fit?
What are you best at?
Explain why this would benefit the team here at Pennywell. Everyone is awesome at something, we are all different!
What areas of your character do you need to develop and why?
We all have plenty of room for growth and development, not one person in our team is a finished project!
If you could be any animal, what would you be and why?
Excite us!
How many press ups can you do in 60 seconds?
We may get you to do this, so maybe try before writing an answer!
How did you hear about working at Pennywell?
Tell us who told you about working here!
