<prompt> Human: I am senior studying Animal Behavior and wish to pursue a career in Zookeeping andor training. I currently work part-time at a doggy daycare that is fun, but not ideal and doesnt pay a ton, but I can work here full-time post graduation I am told. I am applying to many zoos across the country, but dont meet the experience requirements they are looking for as I have never done held a keeping positioninternship. In college I have been an animal technician for a bird lab, done research and worked hands on with primates at a lab, and led a research project on grizzly bears at a well-known zoo nearby. So I have a lot of research experience, but it is overlooked as it lacks animal husbandryoperant conditioning training, both heavily desired.Majority of zoo internships are unpaid for 3-6 month commitments working typically 32-40 hours a week. I have found some that are 24 hours a week, so I could get another part-time job but I doubt that would pay for rentother bills. For medical reasons, I dont think I can work more than 50 hours a week. There have been internships that offer housing, as well as a small stipend, but the housing is always public and dont allow dogs, which I of course own a skittish one and have no one close enough to take care of her for 3-6 months.I am seeking advise on routes I should take or other jobsmethods of gaining side cash such as plasma donations by June or September. When I graduate I am expecting to have around 1500 saved up, and I can live in my current place for 700 for the whole summer rent is usually that much per month where I live and work full-time to save up more.This is my first post here, sorry for excessive detail or not including certain points. Thank you.Assistant: Im not very familiar with your field but when I was fresh out of college, most of the jobs in my field had experience requirements I did not meet. I applied to them anyways and although 90 ignores me, 10 still gave me interviews and I got a few job offers. It seems like youve done a lot during your undergrad and youre probably in a better position then you think. Make sure youre tailoring each cover letterresume to the job posting and really try and think about what your experiences have taught you how theyve made you passionate about the work youre applying for. Human: This.Send out a good, well written personalized CV and cover letter to as many different places as possible. I dont mean rewrite them from scratch each time, but make sure you talk about something specific to that companyposition and why you are applying to work there. Make sure you specifically address the expectations listed in the job description. This alone will set you apart, experience or no experience. When I was looking for my first job after graduating, I applied to 40-50 jobs. I heard back from about 10 of them, was invited to 4 interviews and had 1 firm offer which I accepted. I still feel that I got extremely lucky. It was time consuming, stressful and I hated when I felt optimistic about something only to never hear back. But thats how it goes. I still have the folder with all my cover letters, application forms etc to remind myself.Assistant: Thank you for your optimism. I have a pretty good cover letter, but perhaps Ill look into modifying it for each organization and what they are specifically seeking.  <response>: An important note: it isnt a good cover letter if it isnt personalized to the company.
