SO...what all counts for experience? I have a working interview at the E-vet for a tech position today, and Im sure those hours count. That'll be fulltime and be >900 hours.
Here's the one's I wonder about:
1.) I handle show dogs (mine and other peoples). I do comformation and obedience. Altogether, I put about 5/wk intothat with training and grooming
2.) I volunteer for the local forest preserve doing wildlife monitoring. That total is like1h/wk.
3.) I volunteer with Akita breed rescue doing home evals, transports, and soon to be some grooming and socializing in the shelter space we borrow from Mal rescue. That's going to be on the ballpark of 1h/wk.
Here's some Im considering:
1.) Volunteer one or two weekend days a month at the wildlife care center for injured and orphaned wildlife in the forest preserve system of a neighboring county. It would take like a hour to get there but be well worth it. So say 12h/month on average.
2.) Probably volunteer one day a week with a nearby large animal practice. That would be like 8h/wk
What counts? What do you think I should do. To date, I have virtually no animal health experience other than one day of job shadowing. Here's how the numbers come out:
Small animal Emergency: >900
Large animal: ~200
Wildlife: ~70
That's if none of those other things count.
IF they do count,
Small animal Emergency: >900
Animal behavior and training: ~150
Large Animal: ~200
Wildlife: ~100
How does that look? Will they have a problem with it all being accumulated in a 6month period.
Also, how do you document this time? Do they ask to see journalling, etc?
Sorry, I told you guys I would have a million questions!🙂
