Veterinary Nurse Jobs

I need help with a letter of interest to a local veterinary.?

	I need help with a letter of interest to a local veterinary.? Hi, I recently applied for a position vacant to work as a trainee veterinary nurse. Although I didn't get the job, I realised this is something I would like to do. Would anyone be able to give me some tips on sending a letter of interest to another vet practice? They don't actually have any positions vacant, but i'm hoping they'd like to employ me. I'd like to work with horses and cattle mainly, but guess I will have to work up to that. Cheers! I do not want spam on online businesses etc for my answers. Only genuine people who have used a letter of interest before or have some knowledge on what I'm talking about. I will report spammers.

You have to actually do something vet related before you can jump into a clinic. Have you done a vet course at uni or tafe? That would be advisable. Once you do that, get your favourite lecturer/professor to write the letter of recommendation to a vet. AND/OR you can do apprentice work at a veterinary clinic through the uni. Unis are good at setting up career-related job. Answered By: dato - 1/13/2010
