How to go about getting a job at a vets office or pet resort?

First things first volunteer work is not an option....I'm trying to get a job that will later develop into a career, plus we need the extra income. I want to work at a vets office or pet resort. I want to be around animals. I never see anything in the local listings for any of them. Should I just go up there, ask if they are hiring and give them my resume. I mean its not like with a fast food job where you go in and pick up an app and turn it in... I eventually want to be a vet tech but I only have a high school degree so I know that won't happen right now. But there are other jobs I can do there right? I want to work with animals but I'm having a hard time getting in anywhere. And no I don't want to work retail. What is your advice?

1. A lot of people start as kennel help [cleaning cages, maybe washing some dogs, walking some boarders]. Stop in anywhere to see if they'll hire you for that. It's not a lot of money, but it's a start. Some employers will let you work up the ranks to other jobs - and maybe even help you with tech. school at a later date. Good luck!
