It figures the writer (CLEUSK) would have to use a different font than everyone else! 
As some already know, I am a sales clerk and class instructor at a professional photo lab. Although if anyone knows of any zoos looking for a staff photographer, I am willing to relocate.

I work for a large Excess & Surplus insurance company. At one time or other we've written policies for several zoos across the US and one of our up & coming programs writes a lot of zoo insurance policies.
a survey
. In the Netherlands we have the "Flora and Fauna law", so it is obligatory for building projects ( f.e. a new highway or demolishing buildings) to make a risk-assessment, what the impact on flora and fauna could be and what kind of compensation/mitigation measures should be done. And because of this law, there are many companies who do these assessments and I am one of the persons who does bat-surveys in this kind of projects.I was just assuming that the dutch "inventarisatie" would literally translate into inventarisation

Well, the word does not appear to be in the English language. I suspect you might have wanted the word "inventory" which refers to a list of articles or a catalog, or as a verb means to evaluate (or survey).

I work in the education department at the Santa Ana Zoo at Prentice Park, at the Santa Ana Zoo I take care of the Bactrian camels and the childrens zoo animals such as Ponies, Pigs, Cattle, Sheep, Goats, Birds of Prey etc., at the Santa Ana Zoo I also facilitate animal shows were I handle Birds of Prey, Opossums, Talking Parrots etc., at the Santa Ana Zoo I also walk around the zoo answeing questions about the animals that the guests have and may also give tours
I also work at the Los Angeles Zoo as a Volunteer Animal Keeper, the Animals I work with include Grevys zebras, Pronghorns, Nubian ibex, Black duiker, Red flanked duiker, Southern pudu, Ocelots, Prarie dogs and Childrens Zoo animals, I am not technically a keeper, basically what I do is I work along side paid keepers helping them prepare food, give medication, open and close doors and gates etc.
At the Los Angeles Zoo I have been there a couple months, but at the Santa Ana Zoo I have been there 5 years, since i was 16
I really enjoy these jobs, I have had other jobs that I didnt enjoy too much, those jobs were
ages 18 through 19, I worked at an Exotic Pet Vet Clinic, I loved the job and my co-workers, but I decided it was best I continue to Work at Zoos and Wildlife Parks instead
age 17, I worked as an aid and mentor for middle school and high school students with autism and down syndrome, I honestly didnt like It much because It had absolutely nothing to do with zoos or animals, although there was a kid who had a special interest in zoos and animals, I enjoyed mentoring him but it just honestly wasnt the same as working at a zoo with animals
age 17, I worked at my mom's office doing reasearch and copying papers etc. sorry to say but that wasnt for me
when I was 18 or 19 I applyed for education possitions at the San Diego Zoo and at the Living Desert, but those havent followed through for some reason
when I was 15 and in 9th grade, I thought about working at my local exotic pet store, but that never followed through either
