Is there anyone willing to give me a chance as a veterinary assistant/vet tech? I just had an interview so i'm waiting on a response. I need someone willing to take on a vet tech student that is at the end of their 1st semester. I have 2 months of hands on experience as a vet assistant/technician at another clinic but that was 3 years ago and will need to brush up on some stuff. My resume is posted to my glassdoor account. Should be able to view it.

I have applied for 30+ vet tech jobs but I do not have enough experience for most of them.......where the heck would you like me to get that experience if you're not willing to train me? Someone has to start somewhere. Im in college. I have experience in restraint, drawing vaccines, administering meds, trimming nails, filling and counting meds for the bottles, going to the clients and explaining dosages and how to administer, I assisted in surgeries but I will need brush up on all that, I cleaned equipment before and after, dental set up and prep, I observed dental surgeries which were interesting, they taught me to read exray, im still a rookie at that but I love learning new things. I know you can specialize in certain areas but I'd rather become a pro at all aspects of veterinary technician field except euthanasia. I am still weak in that area, it hurts to see the animal be put down and see the sorrow of the person. I want to make a difference as much as I can, which is why im in this field. I need someone willing to train me

Unfortunately veterinary assistant positions have been turning me down as well. I have been seeing more applications for certified vet assistants and I thought most vet assistant positions were entry level

Start at the front desk and keep going into the back and watching them and ask if they need help. That’s what I did. And now I’m a lead veterinary assistant. Haha be persistent. They’ll look at you being cross trained and be very impressed and you’ll be jack of all trades and outshine everyone.
