Description
Hi my name is Jana, I am 29 years old and I am from Germany. I am a very positive and honest person and I am happiest around nice people, nature and animals, which is why in Germany I am a trained and state certified vets assistant and I love my job back home.
I would be happy for any similar opportunities in animal/pet care, but would also like any other Job that helps me to earn money to see as much as possible of what this beautiful country has to offer.Interests

I know my way around an office setting as much as I know my way around a farm or a clinic.
After my vocational training and studies in Internatinonal Business Management (BA Hons) I have worked as a foreign language assistnant (English-German) for a tax advisors office for 3 years. Besides the translation of correspondance, I was responsible for administrative tasks and event planning, as well as being the person to contact for any data protection matters.
After that, I started my training as a veterinary assistant in a small clinic for cats, dogs and other small pets. After my training, I started working in the same clinic, I had my training, gaining more insight in all the different areas there are including (but not limited to) stock keeping, order processes, restraining all kinds of small pets (including aggressive dogs and feral cats), emergencies, assisting in all kinds of operations and the office side of it, like reception work, book keeping and personnel management.
Before and in between these jobs, I gained lots of more working experience in a work & travel trip to Australia and other side jobs and work experiences I did when I was in school.
During all of these opportunities I gained knowledge and confidence in the work with customers and clients and the regarding fields of work. I am a fast learner, professional and reliable.Age
