My ears and door are always open to students as they prepare to graduate and enter the veterinary workplace. We discuss resumes, "creeping" employers' websites, doing "drive-bys," and interviewing. As a "seasoned" veterinary technician, I share my personal experiences with them, along with relevant job-searching information gleaned from this platform and others. Interested in my job-hunting tips for veterinary technicians? Here you go! 1. If the job posting states "veterinary technician/assistant," do not apply. This employer does not care about your education, goals, or progression. (See previous post for more details). 2. Websites indicate the progressiveness of an employer within the veterinary world; if the website has irrelevant information or profiles of long-gone employees, do not apply. Employers should care about the image they convey and update educational materials and current employees regularly. 3. Working interviews are PAID interviews. Set your pay rate (per hour or flat fee) and tell the interviewer this information if a working interview is offered. In most states, it is illegal to have someone perform tasks while not being employed; (this is a lawsuit waiting to happen, employers!) If you are curious about the hospital's standard of care and protocols, you can observe without doing anything and get the same amount of information from the experience. 4. Hospitals managed by the doctor who also practices are pure chaos--avoid at all costs. A good practice manager with business education and human resources experience is worth their weight in gold. Doctors get to worry about their patients instead of hiring, firing, and scheduling employees. 5. Employers who hire family members...need I say more than...RUN! Do you have tips for new graduate veterinary technicians? Share them below. 😄

Although I love my job, I still sift job listings to keep connected with the kind of roles being advertised. I recently saw some interesting jobs in veterinary education and veterinary wellbeing. Out of interest I had a look, and the first requirement is: must be a vet. Now I understand that clinical skills need to be taught by experienced vets. But topics like welfare, public health, education and professionalism don't need to be; plenty of people from other backgrounds can teach these topics. I think there is still a bit of an attitude of 'only vets can teach vets' sometimes, and I honestly think that holds back the profession when it comes to interdisciplinary thinking. What do others think? What would best practice and inclusive hiring look like for non-clinical vet teaching?

As a relief veterinarian, while looking for my next leadership opportunity, I've had the chance to work in a wide variety of practices and work cultures. However, there are consistent challenges that practices face. One of the biggest challenges is finding good people. Practices are struggling to find assistants, technicians and receptionists, and those that do apply often lack the necessary qualifications or have significant scheduling restrictions. This often leads to canceled relief shifts or reduced hours due to staffing shortages. Hire for attitude, not aptitude. When practices find good people who love pets and are eager to learn, they should hire them if possible. Additionally, training time is not wasted time. Investing in employee training can lead to better outcomes for both the practice and the patients. Finally, it's important to remember that as a relief veterinarian, you are a guest in their house. It's crucial to respect the culture and ways of working of the practice and to be kind and courteous at all times. What challenges have you experienced in your relief work? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

💰 Salary Transparency - Disclosure Gets Results In the competitive environment for talent acquisition, the conversation around salary transparency has moved from a whisper to a roar. Long shrouded in ambiguity, the once-common practice of not disclosing salary details in job ads is undergoing a transformative shift. This change isn’t just about numbers; it’s about fostering trust, which leads to significant increases in quality applications. And the trend is accelerating. The reasons are as diverse as the field itself. Growing legal mandates like those in Colorado, New York City, Japan, Latvia, and more now require salary transparency in job ads. Practices that openly disclose salary ranges are complying with emerging laws, however, more importantly, they are attracting more candidates across a diverse and talented pool of veterinarians, nurses, and technicians. Explore how veterinary salary transparency is reshaping the recruitment and retention landscape, the challenges and triumphs practices face in implementing it, and why, ultimately, this openness is a win-win for both Employers and Job Seekers. We unpack how disclosure is getting results and what this means for your future... https://lnkd.in/g7337iMz #veterinaryjobs #vetjobs #veterinarian #dvm #veterinarysurgeon #veterinarynurse #vetnurse #veterinarytechnician #vettech #vetlife Veterinary Jobs - Vet Jobs - Veterinarian Jobs - DVM Jobs - Veterinary Surgeon Jobs - Veterinary Nurse Jobs - Vet Nurse Jobs - Veterinary Technician Jobs - Vet Tech Jobs - Veterinary Medicine Jobs - Veterinary Surgery Jobs - Vet Life

It's #veterinaryreceptionist week, so we want to take a moment to recognize these individuals' pivotal role in contributing to the optimal functioning of a veterinary practice! Pictured here is the amazing front desk team at Perry Hall Animal Hospital in Baltimore, MD . They have been a VetBilling partner hospital for 10 years! Perry Hall was one of the “early adopters” of VetBilling because of the alignment of values around #accesstocare . So what does a veterinary receptionist DO? The boring answer is that they answer phones 📞, greet clients, 👋 schedule appointments, 📆 and collect payment for services. 💵 But that falls far short of describing their superhero role! 🦸♀️ 🦸♂️ 🦸 Here's part of the actual job description: VETERINARY RECEPTIONIST, aka: Phone ninja. 🥷 📞 Client greeter. 🤝 Appointment scheduler extraordinaire. 📆 Poop-and-pee-cleaner-upper. 💩 Prescription label sticker-onner. 💊 Conflict resolution specialist. ☮️ ✌️ Foreign language interpreter ("I would like my puppy's distemper vaccine 'with no corona'" ?!? => true story!) 🤣🤣🤣 Financial negotiation guru. 💵 Fine line walker. 🤸♀️ Hurt feelings soother. 🤗 Animal comforter. 🐶 🐱 Practice management software wizard. 🧙♀️ 🧙♂️ 🧙 Text message manager. 🔔 Chaos surfer. 🏄♀️ 🏄♂️ 🏄 Carb-and-caffeine aficionado. 🍕 🍩 🍭 ☕️ 🍫 🍵 Pet-hair-on-everything modeler. 👖 👚 Composure maintainer. 😑 Printer paper refiller. 🖨️ 📑 Email maven. 📧 Inventory tracker. 📈 Versatility champion. 🏆 Now, we ask you, is "veterinary receptionist" even the right job title, or should it be "INDISPENSABLE SUPERHERO"??? 🦸♀️ 🦸♂️ 🦸 Have more stellar skills to add? Drop them in the comments below 👇 #vetbilling #veterinarian #vetclinic #vetteam #clientcare
