To Whom It May Concern,
I am really interested in attending the Job Fair that your Zoo is holding this Saturday from 10am till 3pm. But, unfortunately I won’t be able to attend due to my other job and I am scheduled to work throughout the day. Is there a chance that there will still be openings available after the job fair is over or is it first come, first serve? I am interested in working at the Admissions gates position for the summer. I wasn’t sure how else to contact someone about this so I thought I would give it a try here. I hope you will get back to me as soon as possible or if someone could direct me to someone I can talk to about it I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you,
-Gabrielle Green

Good afternoon,
I am currently a teacher and I don’t have updated Child Abuse Clearances because we are not required to renew them each year. I can obtain one for the summer but not by Saturday for the job fair. I am interested in the Zoo Camp Aide position. Please let me know if I should apply for my clearances. Looking forward to meeting you Saturday.
Thank you,
Melissa

To Whom it May Concern,

I was very excited about seeing your zoo camp aid position on this flyer. I am in my senior year at Penn State studying elementary education so this position would be my dream job! I am unfortunately away at school at this time so I will not be able to attend this job fair. I was wondering if you will be having another one in the upcoming months or even if it is possible to just apply for this position? If I could get a number or email on someone to contact about this matter it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you very much for your time.

Dear HR Department:

I am unable to attend the Job Fair. I am interested in applying for the seasonal horticulturist position(s) starting on April 1st.

Is there another way, I can apply. Thank you for your consideration. Katherine Talcott

To whom it may concern,
I am very interested in employment with the Pittsburgh Zoo. I have a great love and passion for animals and would very much like to be a part of your family. I’m sorry to say that I was unable to attend your job fair today and would have enjoyed very much doing so. Please contact me regarding your employment opportunities, as I have very much to offer not only to your wonderful animals, but to the individuals who can’t get enough of them. Thank you, Stephanie Elias-Crippen
