To whom it may concern,

I have three years experience in various veterinary related fields

and recently graduated with a B.S. in Agriculture with a concentration in

Veterinary Medicine from Morehead State University. Veterinary medicine is

more than just a job it is a passion. I am a hard worker with the desire to

learn as much as possible. I have a strong work ethic and excellent

customer service skills.

I have worked for the past five months in a high volume low cost spay

and neuter clinic in Barboursville, WV. I have worked as a surgical

technician and a veterinary technician. On an average day the veterinarian

performs 50-60 spay and neuters on dogs, cats and other small mammals. It

is a very fast paced environment that requires attention to detail,

organization and excellent customer service skills. When I am not assisting

in surgery, I am responsible for outpatient care, which consists of

preliminary exams, administering medication and educating owners on

flea/tick preventatives, heartworm medicines and general animal care.

Prior to working at the spay/neuter clinic, I worked as a veterinary

technician in a busy clinic in Paintsville, KY. My responsibilities

included both kennel work and assisting the veterinarian. The kennel work

included feeding, watering, and medicating animals as directed. Cleaning

and sanitizing the kennels were also a twice a day task. As tech, it was

also my responsibility to educate customers on general pet care, heartworm

preventatives and flea/tick control. I have worked with mostly small

animals and some exotics (birds, various reptiles) but also have experience

with large animals (cattle, horses, swine, sheep).

I am available for full time work upon providing two weeks notice to

my current work place and am available holidays and weekends as needed.

Thank you for your time,

Brandy Jones
