Vet Schools

Based on our initial discussions with students at a variety of veterinary and technical schools, we have constructed a process that specifically addresses concerns and desires brought to our attention by students!

In the spirit of continuing to meet your evolving needs, please feel free to provide insight and/or feedback into what would help you and your peers the most.

Our motivation behind investing time in students is the payoff you, the student, will receive. New graduates are notorious for adding to the turnover statistics and most of this is a result of associates not fully understanding what they expect from a practice and from themselves. The earlier we can become involved, through speaking and career counseling, the more time you will have to think about and define who you are and what you’re looking for.

“I did everything wrong,” she says. “I just forgot that I was going to set goals and that I needed a vision. I basically took the job that offered me the most money, and it was a really bad fit.” – Dr. Knutson, AAHA-accredited Practice Owner

MyVeterinaryCareer just contributed several articles and videos to the American Animal Hospital Association’s new Student website. To avoid making mistakes similar to Dr. Knutson, check out http://www.aahanet.org/OtherSites/students.aspx, to learn more about Career Planning, including the value of Mission Statements, Vision Planning and Goal Setting.

MyVeterinaryCareer had the opportunity to speak at several veterinary schools in 2008 on topics ranging from Interviewing Skills to Resume Building to Practice Ownership. If you are interested in having a member of our team come speak to your VBMA, AAHA or AVMA student chapter, please feel free to contact us!

Instead of waiting to ‘put’ you in a job after graduation, working with you during school enables us to get to know you as a person, allowing us to find a Practice that not only matches your skills and education, but also your personality, desired work environment, and your long-term career goals.
