Given that the veterinary industry at large is and has been dying to get and keep qualified candidates, why does it seem so difficult to land a position or even interviews for someone with 15 years of experience in the field? Is it TOO much experience and lack of wanting to pay a higher wage for a higher productivity worker? Is it just pure disorganized management? Or is it something deeper going on in the field?

I also think that when we come with such experience that the staff there that's hiring have less experience and may think we are trying to take their position. Far from true but I feel there is a bit intimidation in interviewing us.

Oh wow, I can’t believe that you just took the words out my mouth!! Literally, I have over 15 years experience in this industry and I am out of work and looking for employment for the past 6 months almost 7, and as a technician there is nothing I can’t do and that I’m not confident in my ability and I would think so many clinics would be wanting to hire exactly that. Someone with tons of experience, and don’t have to train, can just go in and get the job done right, but nope, and I can’t understand it myself. It’s never been this hard for me my entire life to get hired. It’s probably because they don’t want to pay what we’re worth in experience is what I’m thinking and that’s sad
