What should be included in a vet resume?

For example, "Associate veterinarian with over seven years of experience. Specialist in companion animal emergency and critical care and ACVECC diplomate. Seeking to leverage my skills to contribute to high-quality animal medical care in a challenging environment at Independence Animal Hospital."

Next, you should elaborate on the specific experiences you have working as a vet. Here, you'll want to convey your experiences through your achievements using action verbs. For example, "Experience working under pressure as a sole duty vet. Treated up to 30+ patients per day. Contributed to record financial growth and productivity of the clinic."

If you're just starting out your career as a vet, then include any clinical experience or related roles under work experience. If you don't have much experience, then take advantage of the education section to highlight your skills and qualifications via your academic achievements or clinical experience.

Include a section for your license and include which state it was issued in and the date. Also, include a section for certifications and awards if you have them. Other optional sections include volunteer work, awards, and publications.
