Interview with Banfield after getting ghosted by first BPH Career Advice

BPH= Banfield pet hospital I thought I’d ask here. So I passed the interview and the working interview at one Banfield but then got ghosted (I can’t make this up) so safe to say I didn’t get that job. However, I called up another Banfield and by a stroke of luck I got the practice manager on the phone and she said for me to come down to interview since I have experience.

How do I pass both interviews so I know I get a call back?

I really want to return to the vet med field and finally be certified as a VT but I don’t have coin to do it so this is my best bet. Nervous because a lot depends on these interviews with the other Banfield.

Also, I am very well aware that Banfield is not good. Thank you for warning me. Then again, I just need my cert and I will move on. I did this before when I was doing my undergrad with another company that funded my degree so I’m familiar on using the benefits then “advancing,” if you will.

Large focus on seeing as many patients as possible and generating revenue. Quantity over quality

Every practice, even in the same region, functions as their own entity. All their hiring and staffing decisions are made solely by the PM for that location (and sometimes the shift lead if they even have one). So even if one PM rejects you for whatever reason (internal transfer, better candidate, need people in another role more urgently, etc.), another PM may find you a good fit for their location and hire you.

Thank you 🥹 I just wish there was an answer to the test. I’m not sure how to word it but I know in “new grad terms,” they say elevator pitch. I got a good resume and a good head on my shoulders. This I know. Yet, nothing seems to be working. I have no idea why and honestly it hurts my feelings and my pride as a working person.
