I applied online. I interviewed at Oakland Zoo (Oakland, CA) in Mar 2026
Interview
No phone interview, only in person after an online application. She asked about my availability and my sales experience. Also working with difficult customers. She also asked if I was interested in another open position. When I asked about the typical employee I was told college students on summer break
Multiple stage interview process, solid team of human beings. Surprised by brevity of each stage of the interview process. Things move fairly quickly and was brought in for finalist interview
There was a quick phone interview after initial application, general questions about previous experience, the role zoos play in conservation, how the internship will benefit you and help you reach your goals.
