Dear Heather,
I truly cannot believe I’ve treated up to 64,000 animal patients in my 7-year veterinary career, which I wouldn’t change for the world. I’d be honored to have the opportunity of continuing that path under your leadership at the Independence Animal Hospital.
My friend Susannah Gold—a senior vet in your department—says you’re looking for a veterinarian able to work well under pressure, with a successful track record of surgical procedures, and who can lead a clinical team of veterinary residents. Let me prove to you how well I fit that description:
What I find most rewarding in the veterinary field are the messages from the owners with pictures of their recovering pets. That’s how you know you’ve built a trustful relationship, plus the gratitude and love on the pets’ faces are almost blinding.
I’m confident you’ll find my experience in companion animal emergency and critical care beneficial to the department, so let’s schedule a meeting this week to discuss my skills further.
With kind regards,
Claude Chien
