Strengths and Weaknesses
• What do you most enjoy about working with horses?
I love being outdoors and just spending time building bonds with horses and any other animals. Keeping a yard in a tidy, organised manner where everything has a home.
• Is there anything you’d like to improve?
I am always willing to learn anything new, there is always more than 1 way to do something so am always open to new ideas.
• Why should employers consider you above any other job seeker?
I have shown dedication to this industry for over 20 years and couldn’t imagine doing anything else.
I take pride in both the horses in my care and the yard I am working on as I believe it is only a reflection on myself if anything is out of place. The welfare of the horses I work with comes first and I treat them all as if they were my own.
Requirements
• What would you like to do or gain in your next job?
I would like to settle in a job for the foreseeable future. To create a home for myself and security for my future.
• Do you need accommodation?
Yes
• Do you have any special requirements for any animals you wish to bring with you?
I have 2 small, well behaved cocker spaniels, mum ‘Pye’ is 6 and her son ‘Nacho’ who will soon be 2.
• Do you have any ongoing commitments?
Currently in work with a minimum 4 week notice period for my current clients.
• Do you have any holidays booked that an employer needs to know of?
No
