Ali Ahmed (posted 19th June)

My name is Ali Ahmed, a qualified veterinarian with over eight years of experience in the United Arab Emirates, primarily working with livestock and large animals. I also bring an additional two years of hands-on experience in dairy farm management in Pakistan, where I gained valuable exposure to reproduction protocols, herd health, and farm-level surgical procedures.

I am pleased to share that I have successfully passed the North American Veterinary Licensing Examination (NAVLE), and I am currently in the process of pursuing full veterinary registration.

In the meantime, I am very keen to join your esteemed practice in a veterinary technician or assistant role, particularly in a mixed-animal or large-animal setting, where I can contribute meaningfully while also gaining valuable local experience.

I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss how my background could align with your team’s needs, and I am open to relocating and adjusting to your work protocols. Sponsorship or visa assistance would be highly appreciated, and I am available for interviews at your convenience.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of contributing to your practice.

Muhammad Mahad (posted 18th June)

My name is Muhammad Mahad, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) with three years of experience in the Small Animal Practice. I am currently registered with the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association - National Examining Board (CVMA-NEB) and have successfully completed the North American Veterinary Licensing Exam (NAVLE) as well as Basic Clinical & Sciences Exam (BCSE). Currently, I am awaiting completion of Continuing Professional Education (CPE), which will allow me to meet the requirements for full licensure. I understand that for graduates of non-accredited schools, the NAVLE is accepted in Australia upon successful completion of the CPE, and I am in the process of fulfilling this requirement.

Over the past three years as a full-time associate veterinarian, I have gained a broad range of practical experience. I am skilled in general examination, consultation, client communication, maintaining VCPR, soft tissue & orthopaedic surgery, conducting diagnostic tests, and providing care for hospitalized patients. Additionally, I have hands-on experience performing duties typically carried out by veterinary nurses and assistants, which has further enriched my expertise in animal care.

I am now seeking long-term employment in roles such as a veterinarian (under restricted licence framework), veterinary nurse or similar positions. I am open to transitioning into a fully licensed veterinarian role once I obtain my full licensure. I am actively looking for an employer who can sponsor me for a work visa. I am available to start work immediately, depending on the visa processing time, and am willing to relocate anywhere in Australia or New Zealand, with a particular interest in regional areas.
