Banfield Pet Hospital interview questions

Before getting started I know every hospital is different and that your experience might not be as ideal as mine happened to be. this is also a part time position. I received a call on Feb 20th from the practice manager asking if I had time to do a quick intertwine. of course I said yes and I was asked questions about my work experience. i also want to add that I included a cover letter with my resume, which I think helped. any who i answered questions like what's your greatest strength and weakness, and describe a time you had to deal with a difficult customer. she seemed pleased and invited me to come in for a one on one with the head vet there. I was asked alot of the same questions, just tweaked a little. they ask if you are comfortable handling animals etc... they also ask why you want to work there and if strong smells bother you. I also got to meet a few of the people working, they were very warm and I felt alot of positive energy. They then said to expect a call for a working interview, which i received a few days later. At the working interview i was asked to come in at 845 am until 10 15 am.i was also nervous because i didnt know about practice interviews. i was placed with a vet tech who seemed very knowledgeable about the way things needed to go, fast paved but I loved it. i held animals, met with owners, got to see parasites in a microscope. i was asked to stay till noon, which seemed like a good sign. i learned what was expected of me in the position, of course. When it was time for me to leave the practice manager said that there were other candidates they were looking at and to expect a call either way by that next Monday. I got the call and I was offered the position and I just went in today to fill out new hire paper work, and I go in on Tuesday. I sensed alot of positivity and the vets seemed great art their job and the practice manager seems very fair. everyone seemed to really get along.

Applied online, and was contacted a few days post. They did not have very hard questions during the interview process just your standard "describe a difficult client and how you would deal with them" "what are you biggest strengths and weaknesses" etc. You will get an "observation" interview if they are interested. During the observation interview you will well observe as much as possible- you will not be allowed to touch any of the pets (make sure to get to know the surgery and exam room processes and ask any questions you have at that time to everyone you meet). You will then be called a few days later or know after the observation if you are hired. Once hired you will have general paper work to fill out and proceeded to take a drug test. After the drug test is complete and passed you will start work. After being hired you will be provided with 1 pair of scrubs if part-time and two for full-time that is usually all they will provided you with during however many years of service.
