It's not you! It is a tough field and a lot of VA's move from hospital to hospital, so unfortunately the candidate pool might have more experienced people already applying. My advice is to try volunteering at your local animal shelter in their clinic or with animal handling. Get a Fear Free Certification. You being in Vet Tech school is great! We're looking of a good mix of customer service, animal handling experience and willingness to learn quickly and be adaptable. You will get a VA job soon, don't get dowm!
Thank you so much. 😊
Really just be yourself. Be honest about your skill level. If you don’t know something they ask tell them that, but also explain that you are eager to learn new skills. Emphasis that you are a fast learner and that you are in school for it because you are very passionate about this field. I feel like interviews really vary between hospitals. And most places I’ve worked lately as a vet assistant have not been interested in hiring and training people without experience unfortunately. Even if we are short staffed and one extra set of hands would help. Don’t get discouraged. It’s probably not “you”
Do your due diligence regarding the hospitals to which you are applying. Ask intelligent questions about the hospital itself and the culture they are trying to develop. Nothing is worse than having someone come in for an interview and barely know where they have applied. I always ask what do you know about our hospital to see if they have done any background work. We also always want a cover letter to see how their communication skills are. Have a really great answer if you get the question, "why did you pursue the veterinary field?" Please don't just say, "because I like animals." Dress professionally for the interview. If someone comes in with jeans and a crop top, we figure they are not serious enough about the job. We will take little or no experience if they show passion during the interview and we feel they will fit in with our hospital's culture. Good luck and please don't get discouraged.
I do a phone interview, then an in person I review followed by 3 hour working interview (paid) with the team. Your skills are important, but those can be taught. What I look for is a passion for the industry, work ethic, integrity, drive. What makes you want to work for ABC Clinic? Know their history, research the vets who work there. I also ask about an applicant's sense of humour, how they deal with stress and emotional situations, what kind of things they like to do out of the clinic, do they have a support network outside of vet med, what do they do to recharge and reconnect with reality on a tough day.
I ask a lot of situational and behavioural questions. Tell me about a time... etc. tell the truth on those, because I will follow up with your references.
Soft skills can't be taught - how do you communicate, how do you learn. How do you meet or get close to new teammates. Tell me how you deal with tough clients. Are there any animals or situations you won't deal with. Those are the things I'm trying to learn about in the interview. The working interview is a time for my treatment team lead to judge your skills - if they're way off base, or if they're good, or if they can be taught.
Thank you so much for taking time to write this. I so appreciate the advice.
