“You won’t be here for long!!”

Admin Team

Does being told "You won't be here for long!" make someone want to stick around? 
In the case of our Reception Manager Kiri, it sure did. She is still going strong after 9 years and 2 children. 

I still remember walking through the doors of the Yass Vet Hospital. I was nervous as hell while I waited to see Heidi. 
This was the first time I had attended a formal interview, as I previously worked in the racing industry and interviews were not heard of. As I walked into the room feeling those over whelming nerves, there they were! 3 very confronting faces! Now those 3 people I call great friends. The one thing that stuck with me from the interview was a question I was asked.
 “How long do you think you will be here in Yass?” Shortly followed with “You won’t be here for long”. 
At the time I had no idea how long I was going to be here. My partner, now husband who is a livestock agent had only been here for a short period & apparently, they do not always stay in the same town. 

Fast forward 9 years and I’m still here, now working as the Reception Manager. 
I can’t say it has been the easiest job mentally, but its definitely been the most satisfying and rewarding job. Second only to being a mother! Working within a great team of people makes a difference. Along with being able to help our clients loved ones stay happy & healthy. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a patient in hospital walk out the front door, knowing we have made a genuine difference.
