How easy is it for someone like us (fishkeeper with quite a lot of knowledge), to get a job in a fish/aquarium shop?
Do they just hire anyone or will they take a liking to people with knowledge?
I'm just about to finish college and i really want to get a job in a fish shop. I asked my local one and they said they dont have any jobs going but i've just sent an email to another local one, saying i'd be willing to volunteer to prove i'd be good for the job. I just hope they have a vacancy. Most shops seem to feel that someone of my age (18) cant possible no more than someone who's 40. Or maybe they just dont like the attitude of some 18 year olds who THINK they know more and aren't willing to learn.
What are you experiences guys, and girls?
