How do I apply?
Visit the Opportunities section of our website to see if there are any openings for which you are qualified. Best of luck in your search!
What is the hiring process like?
Once submitted, the department hiring manager will review applications. Once the selection for the position is complete, all applicants who applied will receive communication that the position has been closed and we are no longer selecting for that particular position.
What type of paid positions are available?
Here at the Zoombezi Bay, Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, Safari Golf Club, and The Wilds, we have full-time and part-time year-round positions and seasonal positions available in most departments throughout our parks.
How often should I apply for seasonal opportunities?
Our openings are most often posted from season to season (winter, spring, summer, and fall), so you will want to return to apply at the start of each calendar season.
I've been offered a seasonal position, what's next?
If a seasonal position is offered to you, congratulations! In the following days after you have accepted your new role, a representative will reach out to you with onboarding paperwork. Once all of your onboarding paperwork has been submitted, you will be able to start your new job!
What if I don't recall the name of my seasonal hiring manager?
If you have been offered a position and are unsure of who your hiring manager is, please contact us at zoorecruit@columbuszoo.org.
