How do you feel about euthanasia? What kind of question is that?I think it's always a sad thing to have to do that to an animal who has been a companion for ages but when it involves quality of life issues sometimes it's for the best. Is that what they want to hear?

Zen - it is what they want to hear. They ask this question simply to get a feel for how one views this sad but necessary procedure.

They also want to know you are a hard worker, dependable, a quick learner and a multitasker. Clinics can be dead and then spring to life in a matter of seconds - a hit by cars comes in, a walk in client, an annual that turns into a major project, etc. Clinic staff has to be able to go with the flow, jump in when needed and find things to do when it slows down to a trickle.

I know the first clinic I worked at also had me take a simple math test and a spelling test in addition to my interviews (I interview with the owner and the vet who took care of staffing issues).

I wish you the very best in securing this job.

Once again, thanks for the input. I'm sure that great cover letter will get me an interview and the inside info will help me prep for the exam, uh, interview.
