HI, I have a question about getting hired as an asstnt.v.t. position without having related work experience. I've owned multiple sport horses over ten yrs and traveled the circuit. Just havent done horseshowing from the professional side, always as an owner. But having lived and understanding the circuit life, I am well suited for the work and understand the need for discretion and regular 12 hr workdays. What specific things should my cover letter and related skills emphasize?
What is a good response to “what motivates you”?
There is no one good response, as everyone's motivation will be different. Things to think about are staying away from the stock answers that appear to have no thought behind them (i.e. "I just love animals") or any other non-specific type of answer. Really take some time to put thought into this question before your interview. What drew you to vet med in the first place? If your current motivation isn't what first drew you in, what experience changed your motivation?
What if you have no experience? But you are so passionate about helping the well being of animals and their care.
Having no experience is usually not a big deal, a veterinary assistant can typically be trained on the job and if you wish to become a technician you may decide to attend a program after working in the field for a bit. Just be sure to look for veterinary assistant or other positions that don't require any experience. If you do get an interview, I would still strongly recommend having an additional response to "Why do you want this position?". For 2 reasons: 1) We are all getting into this because we are passionate about helping animals, stating solely this as your reason doesn't make you stand out from other candidates. 2) There are lots of career paths that you can choose that will help the well being of animals. Why, specifically, are you choosing the path of veterinary medicine? Really put some thought into this answer. For example, for me it was my memories of the days on the dairy farm. If I really dug down deep in my soul, and memories, vet visit days were my favorite and doctoring animals was something that fascinated me and I needed to learn more about. This is how I know veterinary medicine is my calling.
@@kendrathevettech I actually got the job on Tuesday and start today. Thanks so much!!! Your advice is truly solid. When I was born my dad had a farm and many Tennessee Walking Horses. I mentioned that’s where my love for animals began and continued throughout my life so far. I’ve also volunteered at an animal shelter before lol I forgot to mention that one though. Thanks for your tips!!! I’m sooooo excited. Dogs (and cats) warm my soul and I want to help love on them and keep them healthy.
@@Megdracula Great work! Congratulations!
New Friend here and fellow youtuber. Also avid animal lover/vet assistant Mew to the field 💜
I have an interview tomorrow aboht it
I am recently graduated veterinarian can u tell me if I registered myself in ECVFG so after registration can I come to USA as a vet tech until I give my exams is that possible or I can choose other options like if I can pass my bcse which is first step before navle and after that can they allow me to do as a vet tech Job or I come to USA by just registration in ECVFG
I am a credentialed veterinary technician in the U.S., therefore I do not know the steps to take or requirements for your transfer to the U.S. as a veterinarian. The term "vet tech" is widely misused throughout our country. Some places refer to anyone helping a DVM as a "vet tech" whether they have credentials or not. The scope of practice, i.e. tasks you can perform and with how much supervision, varies drastically based on if you are credentialed or not. Most states require you to graduate from an AVMA accredited veterinary technology program to sit for our board exam (VTNE). There are a few states that will allow you to gain credentials based on work history but that typically requires about 5 years of full time work. Hope this helps!
@@kendrathevettech I know the steps of coming US as a veterinarian but I just want to ask u about vet tech jobs for foreigner veterinarians for practicing before clearing steps of veterinarian
Good luck nailing your interview - you’ll be broke for life without a spouse supporting you or working 2 more jobs to pay your basics!
