Answer 1

Put together a professional resume, listing schooling, experience, and work or volunteer references. At our practice, if we were looking for another receptionist we would look for someone who came in dressed nicely (business casual), was mature, polite, well spoken, friendly, willing to learn. Apply to every practice. After an interview, call a couple of days later to thank them for taking the time to talk to you. Send a thank you note as well. There are times it seems no one is hiring, and other times everyone is looking for help. Be patient, and hopefully something will open up for you soon!

Answer 2

I even have worked at many vet hospitals over the years, and maximum vets are prepared approximately hiring a recptionist which could use the pc, has a useful character, and seems solid and neat. something they'd instruct.
