I only have a decent amount of experience in one field. (Veterinary Assistant.) It seems as if no one will hire me. I have applied for other job but due to my lack of experience in, lets say, customer service I do not get hired. I have applied at every place near my house for the veterinary assisting....
Do you think I have run out my resources?

NO you have not run out of resources. You should try to do up a Skills Based Resume or combination resume, a resume that highlights your skills instead of or over your experience. As A Vet assistant I am sure you have learned a variety of skills that are transferable to other career choices. I have attached a link to a website you may find helpful.

keep trying. if this is what you want to do, keep applying to places. Perhaps the places you checked out were not hiring at the time, perhaps someonew with more experience applied. If you are that serious about it, many community colleges offer veterinary assistant as an associate's degree, you can also find online programs for it. You may have to offer to volunteer for some time for more experience (try animal shelters).

How long were you a Vet Asst. Some of your experience may co-relate but your wording is wrong, for example. I am sure you are very capable of doing other things, it's conveying in a manner that let's them know you can utilized by them.

get a differerent kind of job until you can find one in vet assistance. go to school to improve your skills.
and i suspect you are doing something wrong on the interview or something.
