Equine Careers: How Grooms can increase their salary
Several times, every day I am involved in discussions with grooms and employers about salaries. One of the most commonly asked question by grooms in what is considered a poorly paid profession is, “what can I do to get the top end of the salary ranges advertised in your jobs?”.
There are some basics you can achieve fairly easily:
- Ensure you have the best possible level of skills…learn from professionals and be able to showcase what you can do at the job interview/trial
- Have good people skills and be a team player who can mix
- Make smart career moves and choose jobs which help you get to where you want to be in your career
- Stay in those jobs 18 months minimum
- Have a professional but succinct CV
- Have us negotiate your salary with employers when finding your next job on THE GROOMS LIST
- Gain some extra qualifications

Through a series of articles over the next few months, we will tell you how you could get some serious extra money in your pay packet each month.
