Dolphin and Marine Animal Work and Job Posting
Hi All,
I am always getting requests for job positions. As I stated in my intern blog post, Dolphin World does not have any job position because we are a travel and tour company, kind of like a travel agency. We put people and their desires to be with Dolphins, wild and trained, and put them with the best marine animal facility for their vacation, either Florida, Hawaii, Mexico, Dominican Republc, Bahamas, and Tortola,
We have created a website that list almost all the Dolphin Facilities in the world to help you contact the facilities directly for job positions and openings. Go www.DolphinPlaces.com. Remember position are very competitive and I highly recommend that you intern first at the facility you want and you will most likely get a job there when a position opens up. Very rarely do these facilities ever give a position from a resume. They give the job positions to interns and friends of people that work within the facility. This business is very close knit and getting in is very difficult.
This business is about the love of the marine animals, not the pay. THE PAY IS VERY LOW !!!
Also, you can make quick post here in this blog. The facilities and our competition are always reading this blog. If you have a website, myspace, or facebook address and want to leave it in a post, it won’t hurt you. Also, a put a little about yourself in the post to.
Does anyone out there want to share their story about how they aquired a job in a Dolphin / Marine Animal Facility?
Have a great day!!
God Bless

Well, this is my story:
I always had this love and passion for animals. I used to have all different kinds of unusual pets at home and made it clear for every one that I truly love working with animals of all kinds. My girlfriend of 4 years introduced me to her friend who was a partial owner of the facility I work for now. I had an informal interview at first. I was very motivated and enthusiastic about the job and I had already been a champion swimmer and in the water polo team, so I had a good appearance and nice physical body and very active in sports such as diving and life guard. He liked me right away and asked me to come for a formal interview the next day. And of course I got the job. No need to say that I served as an observer for a while which did not matter to me because I just love the job itself.
