Job Interview-Part 2

The interview went really well and I was asked to come back next week to job shadow! I have never done this before so I'm really excited. The interviewer seemed really impressed with my experience that I have and of my goals in applying to vet school. There is one other Kennel Assistant that is also applying to vet school and he is the one i get to job shadow. I have to be there at 7am which means i have to leave before my parents even get out of bed, holy smokes thats early! BUT i am really excited, i hope i get this job! The vet hospital is huge! the biggest one I have ever seen.
My VMCAS application is pretty much done but I want to wait to send it in to see if I get the job because then i can add more experience.

Job Interview

So i got a call yesterday for an interview as Kennel Assistant for Bath-Brunswick vet hospital! I missed the call so i have to call Monday to set a date but still whoot!
I told my dad and hes like "you'll find out the commute isnt worth it because of the traffic to Bath Iron Works.." awesome thanks for the postive reinforcment.
maybe they wont even pick me because i have to travel so far or whatever. A job is a job and its full time at a vets hospital! more experience plus being paid with benefits is great. yeah its an hour away but ill suck it up.
Adopted a hamster yesterday:) i named him Gus like the mouse in Cinderella. He likes to climb and chew on the cage even though i bought him mini wood chews. He likes his little hut we bought him. I want to make sure he is warm in the winter.
Working on my San Francisco scrapbook today, Golden Gate Bridge page which will be 4 pages.
One of my best friends is moving San Francisco in like a week and im so jealous of her and really excited for her to be able to enjoy, to me, the most wonderful and exciting cities in the world.

Still Job Hunting..

I really need to find a job. With my loan payments coming up we have to cut back on a lot of things. Goodbye cellphones, netflix, and well less heat in the winter. God only knows what else my parents have not told me everything that we are cutting back on. Im starting to apply to jobs farther away from me, up to an hour but only if they are full time.
I would apply to jobs that arent in my field but i don't have any references that would help. My references include a vet, vet tech, and my internship supervisor from the animal shelter. How is that going to help when i apply to Kohls or a bookstore or something.


Really need some luck on my side..

Volunteering..would rather work

I just got an email from VMCAS saying that the Veterinarian has done the evaluation. I have to now go over my personal statement and fine tune everything.
I started volunteering at the Kennebec Valley Human Society for more animal experience although i don't really get to do that much..not as much as i did at the Animal Welfare Society at least. I miss the clinic a lot. I also wish i was working at a shelter instead of volunteering. I really need the money..ugh. Im sick of not having a job while i keep seeing how everyone else who has graduated is getting a job and the common theme is none of them live in Maine..hmm well besides my other friends but it's not hard to find a teaching job anywhere especially maine.
