    Houston Zoo Position update!

    For those who may have missed the other thread i started, I applied for a position at the houston zoo as a reptile keeper. I had a phone interview about a month ago and was told at that point i was one of the final candidates. So after several weeks of waiting, phone calles and emails they called me today with their decision. The guy said it came down to me and this other guy (who was their first choice), their said that if the guy's background check didn't check out, or if he rejected the position it would have been offered to me. So no movin to Houston for me, too bad. The guy did say he was going to keep my resume since they turn over people everyonce in a while. *Sigh* o well i will have to find something around here i guess.

    That's a bummer Mike. Keep your chin up you will land that dream job sooner than you think.

    I hope it works out for you in the long run. Next summer I'm hoping to get an internship there so it would be pretty awesome if I knew a BP.net member there. lol

    I think he already passed the background check, i just hope he is a moron or a jerk so that they fire him or he doesn't like it and leaves or something. hehe.
