I have a lot of questions?
I have a few questions 1. I applied at the Vetco mobile vaccine clinic as a customer advisor. Over the phone, the recruiter asked me to come to the location for a tour of the facility. When I went, she showed me how everything was set up and said that she would send me the offer letter that same day or later that week. My first question is, I haven't gotten the offer letter yet, how many days should I wait until I send a follow-up email asking about the offer letter? 2. If time does pass, how should I format the email to not seem pushy or desperate. 3. Does working at this clinic count as veterinary hours needed for Veterinary school? and how should I keep track of these hours?
