Applying for a position in a new practice can be a daunting prospect. At SynergyVets, we invest in each of our clients, helping them through the application process, right through to the moment the contract is signed. We believe our job is to ensure that you stand out from the crowd and help you to secure the RVN job you want. With this in mind, we’ve compiled out five most useful tips for those applying for positions as an rvn vet.
- First Impressions Count
Positivity might be hard to maintain when you are feeling nervous, but it can go a long way. As a Vet or Nurse you will be expected to remain polite and positive under pressure – and there is no better environment in which to demonstrate your ability to cope than in a job interview.
- Review your CV
At SynergyVets, we will work with you to ensure that your CV is well-presented and reflects the skill-sets necessary for the post you are applying for. Your experience, qualifications and recommendations are invaluable in an interview, so your CV should be easy-to-read and highlight anything that is pertinent to your application.
- Know your Potential Employer
As one of the UK’s premier Veterinary Recruitment agencies, we will put you forward for jobs that suit you. However, it’s worth taking the time to research the practice you are applying to. You may find that they specialise in certain areas or offer specific services. In addition to searching their website, also pay attention to any press releases or newsletters they publish; these will give you an idea of the working environment and what they expect from you.
- Think Ahead
There are certain questions that are standard in interview situations, such as ‘Why are you the best person for the job?’ or ‘What are your strengths and weaknesses?’ Consider these questions in advance and prepare answers that are honest and informative.
- Plan for the Future
Many interviewers are interested to learn how you see your career progressing with them. Any research you’ve done should allow you to get an idea of how your career could advance within that practice. Planning for the future shows determination, ambition and a willingness to learn; skills that are always attractive to potential employers.
