    Tell them that you feel you can contribute alot, you're a dedicated, conscientious worker, and you feel you're the right person for the job.

    A love for animals doesn't necessarily get the job done(in their eyes). You have to convince them that you would be the most qualified candidate for the position's requirements. In other words, they want a person that can accomplish given assignments, correctly, efficiently, and in a reasonable amount of time. Your love of animals will always help you with the job but it can't be your top priority.

    Example: Someone wants a job at a bakery. Just because this person loves cake doesn't mean they will be the best worker the bakery can hire I hope this makes sense. You can tell how tired I am

    Audrey: I don't mean to sound like you won't do a good job. I'm just explaining why this guy is saying this to you. Good luck. I know you'll do great!!


    I've been Boo'd...
    Thanks Barry!

    I went through this a while ago (not as a tech, just as an apprentice/shadow). Show that you are eager to learn and that you are capable of doing so. What people like seeing is ambition and passion. Sure, everybody loves animals, but there are some who possess a strong passion to further the welfare of animals. Some find their paths in shelter work, but emphasize that you feel your passion is in veterinary medicine. Show that you are very serious about your work and that you are highly interested in medicine. Show that you are ready and willing to dedicate yourself to the job. Have you any prior experiences with animals and vet med? You should emphasize that as well, and how it affected you (made your passion to heal animals stronger). Good luck! It's an exciting thing
