Has anyone worked as a dog trainer for Petco?
I just applied, because our two local stores are hiring, and it's a job I could do in the evenings or on weekends with Lilly and school. The application was kind of weird, though. I put my past job experience at the day care and in grooming, and put a few people who's dog's I've trained in my references, but there was no space to list volunteer work or the classes/seminars I've taken, since I don't have any formal certification.
I feel like I'd have had a much better chance if I got to include my own resume or there was a section for extra information.
I also didn't finish the timed questions.
I'm wondering if I have a chance of getting an interview with no technical "training" experience, and without finishing the timed questions. Also, what was it like working there? Did you have to follow really specific guidelines for training, or were you allowed to sort of make your own training suggestions and so on?
