About chaos



It's another crazy year in my world of entropy. I am engaged now and very excited. It will be a little while before we can get married due to money constraints, but it will happen.
I like things simple. I hope to give honest and useful advice. I don't believe in giving answers just to get good feedback. 98% of all questions put in my inbox will be answered. The only ones I don't answer are those too young to be here or too obscene/disrespectful. I don't know everything, but I think I can help a lot.

I've been working on my resume, but there is not a whole lot to it. I've basically had two jobs, and have volunteered at three different occasions. I want to find something in the animal care/veterinary field. But I'm still going to school full time, and am only finished with one semester of a Veterinary Technology major.

If I apply to every Vet clinic in the area, should I make a cover letter for each place? I'm most familiar with one certain clinic, because I've been the janitor there for a while, so I had no problem making a cover letter for them. But I don't really know what to say about all of the other clinics.

Should I just hand a resume in to each place, and hope for the best? Or should I make an individual cover letter for each clinic?

Is there anything else that I could do to spice up my resume?

I would make a cover letter for each place. If there is someone at your current vet clinic, ask them if they might know someone at the other clinics. Then you may can point your cover letter into the proper hands.
Be sure to include all of your experience whether it is volunteer or not. You might make two sections dividing the volunteer from the paid positions. If there is still room, you can include special awards, GPA, special trainint, and hobbies in their appropriate sections.
You might include a goal statement at the beginning of your resume. Be sure that your resume is only one page long or it will end up in the trash.

(Rating: 5) I'm starting to realize that I have a lot of editing to do with it. Thanks for your input, I'm going to focus more on my volunteer work now.
