Hello! I am currently in school full time and hoping to go to vet school. (I will know on the 14th whether I got in this year or not).
I put in my two weeks as a vet assistant at a clinic because part time hours were cut and it was a hostile environment. I currently have been offered a position as a server, however; I had a working interview today at another vet clinic and it went well. I don’t know when I’m going to hear back from the vet clinic. I am completely conflicted on what to do.
My original thought was to accept the offer as a server and wait to see if I’m offered the job at the vet clinic, and if so, tell my manager where I would serve that I have been offered a job opportunity I cannot refuse and that I was hoping to still work one small (5 hr shift) a week and much more during breaks. It is a college town but I’m still not sure if they will go for that.... I would make more money as a server, however; I don’t want to lose my clinical experience. I told the place that would hire me as a server that I’ll let them know by Monday whether I accept the job or not.
I don’t know what to do...
I don't know what your financial situation is, but being a restaurant as a server is always a temporary position with high turnover. If you're a good assistant at a vet clinic, they won't want to let you go. If you wind up with both offers, you just need to be courteous to the restaurant manager so he/she can find someone else. Of course I don't know if you are able to keep both since you probably are going to be part-time at both positions, and it doesn't hurt you either way as long as you keep up your studies.
