Dear, Cavan Hills Veterinary Services
I am writing to express my interest in applying for a position on your team as a Registered Veterinary Technician at the clinic. With my now completed education, I am looking forward to working in this field.
I graduated from Northern College, Haileybury. I completed the two-year Veterinary Technician course with honours and completed the one-year Veterinary Technologist Wildlife Rehabilitation course. I have also completed the necessary requires obtaining my Registered Veterinary Technician title. The skills I have developed over the years include anesthetic monitoring, administrating subcutaneous, intramuscular and intravenous injections, placement of intravenous catheters, daily recording keeping and administration of daily medication by oral, optic and ophthalmic. My job at the Lindsay Beer Store and my previous job at the Lindsay Animal Clinic Professional Corporation have developed efficient customer service skills and teamwork skills. The Lindsay Animal Clinic provided my first experience working in a clinic and obtain and develop my skills more. I would appreciate the opportunity to further tell of my skills and qualifications suitable for a possible position.
I am not sure if you are hiring but I have attached my resume. Thank you for your time and hope to hear back soon. I am available to schedule an interview at 705-***-****, or by email at adlu1x@r.postjobfree.com.
