When I moved to Tenerife one of the first things that caught my attention was the Loro Parque. An immense embassy of animals considered the best Zoo in the world for many consecutive years that is located right next to my house. I have always thought of working there somewhere to gain experience in this area. I submitted my application of volunteer two years after my arrival on the island because then I could speak Spanish more fluently as well. I think some of the things that helped me get the job were my persistence in sending applications and the fact that I speak four fluent languages which helped me because Loro Parque is a place full of tourists. After my application was sent, I received a letter telling me that I was chosen to participate in a face-to-face interview with the head of the tour department Julie Dixon. The interview went smoothly and Julie liked my sympathy and told me I could start working the next week. I felt proud that I could achieve such an honored job all by myself. I ended working in Loro Parque for three consecutive months and it was one of the best experiences I could have had to enhance my knowledge on how to deal with big groups of people and to stay calm in stressful situations. I would definitely go back and work there if the possibility arises.
