How did work experience influence your career choice?

Overview

This section is an expansion of the earlier ‘Key reflections’ section.

This should be the conclusion to questions on your work experience, or it may be a lone question within itself.

What to Cover

• What experience confirmed your desire to become a vet
• What parts of the job do you feel the most drawn to?
• Which areas would you like to further explore?
• How the job is challenging and rewarding

Powerful statements are a good way to end a question; they help you be remembered against the other students who are being interviewed.

Example – “It showed me the realities of veterinary; there can be an emotional strain, but the impact that vets make made it certain that this is the profession for me.”

You want to have realistic expectations and show that you are not choosing the profession blindly.
