Ntchito
Zoweta zamtundu wa zoo ndizoyang'anira kuyang'anira zonse zokhudzana ndi zinyama. Ntchito zambiri zimaphatikizapo kupanga zisankho zokhudzana ndi zinyama, zakudya, chisamaliro cha zamatera, njira zodzipatula, ntchito zopindulitsa, kayendedwe ka zinyama, ndi zofufuza. Iwo amathandizanso kusankha ndi kupeza nyama zatsopano.
Okonzekera ayenera kuwerenga mauthenga ochokera kwa olemba osiyanasiyana ndikulemba mfundo zimenezo zoo zolemba.
Makonzedwe amayang'ananso antchito onse a zoo kuphatikizapo osunga , aphunzitsi , azimayi, ogwira ntchito zothandizira, ndi odzipereka. Nthawi zambiri amagwira nawo ntchito yolemba, kuphunzitsa, ndi kukonzekera antchito a zoo. Okonza ndalama amakhalanso ndi udindo woonetsetsa kuti malo awo akukwaniritsa zofuna zonse za boma ndi boma, kupeza ndi kusunga zilolezo, ndi kusunga alendo ndi antchito otetezeka pamene ali pamalo.
Wotetezera angayesedwe kuti azigwiritsa ntchito ndondomeko yosinthasintha nthawi ndi nthawi, ngakhale kuti izi ndizofunika kwambiri pa nthawi ya maola omwe maola amawoneka osasintha. Mofanana ndi ntchito zambiri zokhudzana ndi zinyama, maola ena kapena maola otsiriza angakhale oyenera nthawi zina malingana ndi malo ake. Okhotakhota akhoza kukhala "akuitanidwa" kuti athe kuthana ndi zochitika zadzidzidzi kapena ntchito pamene akuuka.
Zosankha za Ntchito
Woyang'anira wamkulu amayang'anitsitsa zoweta zonse za zoo, amayang'anira antchito a chipindachi, ndipo amatha kugwira ntchito zosiyanasiyana zolamulira. Wotetezera nyama amayang'anira gulu lina la zinyama mu zokolola za zoo monga zoweta kapena zinyama. Malo ang'onoang'ono otengera mawotchi angakhalepo m'malo osiyanasiyana pa malo akuluakulu; malo owonjezera a kapepalawa nthawi zambiri amakhala m'madera osungirako, ntchito, ziwonetsero, kapena kufufuza.
N'zotheka kuti alangizi apeze malo ndi olemba ntchito zosiyanasiyana monga zojambula, zinyama, mapaki odyetserako nyama, malo odyetserako ziweto, ndi malo osungirako zinthu. Okonzanso akhoza kupita patsogolo ku Mtsogoleri (ngakhale m'mapaki ambiri, General Curator nayenso ali ndi udindo woyang'anira udindo wotsogolera).
Maphunziro & Maphunziro
Kawirikawiri, kansalu ya zoo iyenera kukhala (pang'onopang'ono) digiri ya zaka zinayi mu zoology , biology zamoyo zakutchire , kapena malo ofanana. Dipatimenti ya digiri kapena dotolo nthawi zambiri imasankhidwa, ngakhale madigiri apamwamba sakufunika kwenikweni. Maphunziro ndi zamalonda ndizofunikanso. Ambiri opindula opempha malo ogwirira ntchito ali ndi zaka zingapo zapadera akugwira ntchito pa udindo, makamaka ndi zoo, aquarium, kapena bungwe lina lokhudzana ndi zinyama.
Pali zochitika zambiri zogwirizana ndi zoo zomwe olakalaka angakhale nazo panthawi ya maphunziro awo apamwamba. Mkhalidwe wosiyanasiyana ungalimbikitse wopemphayo kuti ayambirane. Owerenga ambiri amayamba ntchito zawo monga osunga zoo, akatswiri a zinyama, kapena osamalira nyama ndipo amagwira ntchito pamakwerero.

Othandizira ambiri angathe kuyembekezera kupeza malipiro apamwamba omwe amatha kukhala nawo chifukwa cha udindo umene akutsogolera. Okhotawa omwe ali ndi zaka zambiri kapena omwe ali ndi luso lapadera kapena maphunziro angathe kuyembekezera kupeza ndalama zambiri pamlingo wa malipiro.
Job Outlook
Mpikisano wa malo alionse pa zoo kapena aquarium ndiwothandiza, popeza pali ambiri ofuna ntchito kuposa malo omwe alipo. Mapulogalamu a BLS omwe amatetezera malo pa malo odyetserako ziweto adzakula mofulumira monga momwe alili pa malo onse (pafupifupi 16 peresenti). Popanda kukula kwa malo osungirako nyama ndi zinyama zomwe zikuyembekezeredwa posachedwa, mpikisano uyenera kupitiliza kukhala wolimba kwa malo ogwiritsira ntchito pa malo omwe alipo.
