My interview was shortly after Dr. Aller had opened his clinic, so I met with him to grab coffee and talk about the job. He's a very welcoming and friendly guy who wasn't as concerned about rigorous job knowledge questions as he was about getting to know me. The interview was more of a conversation where we got to know each other a little better.

Question 1
What's your goal in the field? (sorta like where do you see yourself in 5 years)
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Art City Vets (Philadelphia, PA)
Interview
I was really excited when I was offered an interview at ACV. However, when I arrived I was greeted by staff with less-than-ethused attitudes. They have you complete a technician skill quiz, which I think is great and weeds out inexperienced techs. The lead technician who was conducting the interview was attentive and nice, but when taking me around outpatient, not a single technician (maybe about 10-12 people) greeted me or acknowledged me. This immediately turned me off. You want to feel welcomed at a practice when interviewing, and ACV gave the opposite. I briefly spoke with the owner who did not get up from his chair to have a conversation.
I was offered a position at a less than desired hourly rate, and ultimately I declined and accepted at another local practice. I would suggest that the staff at ACV make a marked effort to help potential employees feel welcomed while interviewing.
