I’VE been with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) for over the past quarter-century, working to expose cruelty to animals across five continents, and during that time, I’ve lost track of the number of job applications I’ve read. Twenty years ago, I helped set up PETA India and later our Australian affiliate, and I’ve seen the best and the worst applications. I’ve always been amused by the strange things that applicants think they should tell me. As your prospective boss, I only need to know why you’re a good fit for the job; I don’t need your autobiography. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that applying to a charity such as PETA, Greenpeace or the Red Cross is any different from applying to any other job.

In fact, at PETA, we have very high standards for hiring because we have to stretch every peso we have.
