Exactly! Grooming or odd jobs would show his skills better.

Geoffrey 1 month ago

I agree! He needs hands-on work, not just looking around.

I think option C is the least useful. Just browsing won’t give him real experience.

Not sure if a pet store is the best place for assessment, seems too casual.

A tour at the boarding facility could show him actual job roles!

Spending time at a vet's office sounds useful, but odd jobs? Really?

Devorah 2 months ago

I think the grooming station is a great idea!

Kenneth 2 months ago

A pet store is just for browsing, not real work experience.

I practiced a similar question where we had to evaluate different job settings. I think spending time at the vet's office could be really beneficial for him.

I feel like the tour at the pet boarding facility might be more informative than practical. It’s hard to tell if that would really help him decide.

I think the grooming station idea could be really engaging for him, but I wonder if he would actually get to do any real work there.

I remember discussing how important it is to have hands-on experience, but I'm not sure if just browsing in a pet store would really give him that.
