Would like to impress and Get a Raise
Veterinary Technologist / Technician - (City withheld for privacy), British Columbia, Canada
I work in a Veterinary Hospital. 95% female workers here and they all want to better themselves. I am one of the only males and I just started a few weeks ago. I would like to increase my hourly wage and at the moment I make $10.00 an hour and $11.00 an hour during graveyard shift. I would like to get a raise so I make more money and at the same time impress my boss and the other girls that work there as well. Thank you.
