I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Banfield Pet Hospital (Rockville, MD) in Sep 2012
Interview
I initially applied online and received a call from the practice manager. We set up an in-person interview for later on in the week. I interviewed with her and the other practice manager for the new Banfield that I would be working at (to open in a couple of months). I was offered to come back to shadow a veterinary assistant to make sure it would be a good fit. The next day I came in for an hour and afterwards I was offered the job. Several days later I received an email with a form to fill out in order to do a background check. I got a call from the manager the next day saying that my background check was clear and asking me to come in to fill out paperwork in person. After the paperwork, I was told I would be notified of when they wanted me to start training.

Interview
The interview was in-person just like regular phone interviews. They first ask you to introduce yourself and describe your experiences. Then, they ask about certain skills like catheter placement, blood draw, and surgery monitoring. I think it lasted about 20-30 minutes.
