Zoology personal statement example

A passionate individual for working with zoo animals has recently graduated from (what university, when and what grade). I am now keen to continue with my learning and enjoy working with elephants and giraffes especially.

I am very hard working,  enjoy putting extra effort into my work to ensure that I learn as much as I can and do the best I can to be successful for myself and the animals in the zoo. I like to work in a variety of roles and I am happy to get involved in anything new.

I am an excellent communicator, very patient and like to ensure I do my work following rules and procedures applicable to the zoo and to ensure that the welfare of the animals is always the number one priority.

Good luck.
