Think about a time that you disagreed with a decision that was made by a veterinarian that you were working with. Discuss how you approached the situation to express your concerns and how you were able to come to a solution for the disagreement. Talk about what you learned from this situation and what you might do differently going forward.

"I had previously worked with a veterinarian that would get incredibly upset if the vet techs took more than a certain amount of time when seeing pets. On one particular day, he entered the room and yelled at me in front of a customer for taking too long. During my lunch break, I asked him to please, in the future, wait until I was not with a customer to discuss any concerns that he had with me. I also explained that the customer was having a hard time understanding some of the vaccinations that we were planning to give his pet at the visit and that I needed to spend some additional time providing clarification. Going forward, I never had an issue with him regarding my time spent with customers."
