State the milking parlour or robotic system you have used and describe your own responsibility. Before travelling, clarify the expected independence, induction arrangements and the language used for safety instructions. Practical experience should be described task by task.

Milking and herd observation
Hygiene, following farm procedures and reporting unusual signs are central to milking work. Do not make veterinary decisions independently without the relevant competence and authorisation.
Calves and shed routines
Calf feeding, cleaning and observation require their own task description. Ask how time is divided between milking and other duties and how information passes between shifts.
Prepare your application

Frequently asked questions
Do I need experience with a particular milking system?
That depends on the vacancy. Name the equipment or explain the process you know. Even an experienced milker needs instruction on unfamiliar equipment.
How should I describe calf care experience?
List your own duties, such as feed preparation, feeding, cleaning and observation. Distinguish these from treatment carried out by a vet or supervisor.
Does milking work follow one continuous shift?
There is no universal farm schedule. Ask about milking times, breaks, split shifts and days off for the specific vacancy.
