Blog 4: Interview Preparation

1. I plan to interview my mentor, Dr. Leonard Sigdestad from the Loma Linda Animal Hospital. I want to interview him first because I want to get closer to my mentor because right now we don't really talk much and also because I want to see how he feels about being veterinarian. I want to see his point of view of what being a veterinarian is really like.

2. Other questions I plan to ask:

• What college/university did you graduate from?
• Why did you want to become a veterinarian?
• What helped you deal with stressful patients and what you encountered(euthanasia, extremely hurt animals, stress overall at work)?
• How is your point of view now different from what it was when you first worked at an animal hospital/clinic?
• How much money do you earn?
• What is some advice you can give to students who want to become veterinarians or who barely graduated college/university as veterinarians?
