1) What makes you the best veterinary technician for our company?

Answer Example:
"I think that I would make the best veterinary technician for your company because of my prior background working in the pet emergency center. I gained a wide range of experience throughout my employment relationship there and I don't feel that it is the type of experience that you obtain in a clinic. I also have the passion that it takes to work with animals and I am working towards becoming a veterinarian."

2) At times, veterinary work can be stressful. How do you handle stress?

Answer Example:
"I work well under pressure and in stressful environments. I manage my stress by doing things that I enjoy outside of work, like hiking, baking, and swimming. I come into work each day with a clean slate and keep my personal and professional life separated."

3) Talk about a time that you had to make a tough decision when it came to an animal and how you handled that.

Answer Example:
"I had a dog that was just shy of two years old come into the emergency center. The dog had been having seizures at home and difficulty breathing. We kept the dog for a few days to monitor his breathing, and during that time he had two more seizures, even with medications. The dog's oxygen levels were extremely low, and after consulting with our veterinarian, we determined that the dog was suffering and in pain. We called the family in and discussed what we felt was the only option, to put the dog to sleep. It was such a difficult decision to make because the pet was incredibly young, and we had a hard time determining what caused the illness, but there did not seem to be anything we could do to provide relief, and we ultimately did what we felt was best for the animal."

4) Talk about a time that you identified a safety concern in your workplace and what steps you took to correct this safety matter.

Answer Example:
"At my previous employer, we had a very open waiting area, and at times we would have very sick pets alongside animals that were just there for routine checkups and annual vaccinations. This was a potentially dangerous situation for animals that had contagious viral infections. I spoke with the management team, and we were able to keep a small area for 'well pets' to safely wait to see their veterinarian."

5) Tell me about a difficult experience you had with a customer or client and how you handled the situation.

Answer Example:
"In my first role as a veterinary technician, I had a customer who was extremely upset with me because her dog's annual vaccinations had run out, and she was planning to board him for a week while on vacation. The resort she wanted to board her dog at would not allow him to stay without up-to-date vaccinations. I explained to her that the clinic does do several reminder postcards, emails, and phone calls before vaccinations run out. I was able to fit her dog in for vaccinations so he could be boarded in time for her vacation, and she put a reminder in her calendar so that the vaccines did not lapse again."
