Answer 8

First of all - there is no such thing as an equine vet - you will have to train in everything, later on you might be able to specialise in equines.

Don't go to an interview expecting to talk about horses and their ailments -  you might get a chance to talk about what you know about, but it won't be anything too complex.

There are huge numbers of 'horsey' people applying, but an interview panel will expect you to have more of a general interest/knowledge of issues concerning all animals not a specialist knowledge of one.

So what do you know about cattle, sheep, pigs? Can you name a single breed of any one? What is stratified sheep farming about? How did the last outbreak of FM disease start?

What is your opinion on fox hunting, badger culling for TB?

Is the dangerous dogs legislation any good? What do you think about battery farms?

These are the sorts of thing you should be thinking about and researching if you don't know already.

You need to be thoughtful and have an opinion on some of the numerous general issues that affect vets in their daily lives. Specialist knowledge is what you get while training.
