Applying for jobs during lockdown

[Wrachwal97]

Hi,
Everyone on here is always so helpful so I need some more advice.
Due to lockdown I unfortunately lost my job and it’s super hard to find something just now. I’m from north east Scotland and would appreciate any help on best websites to post my CV and find jobs?
I’ve already done YardAndGroom, Grooms List and Facebook.
In the perfect world I’d love to stay in Scotland close to my family but if I must I will move elsewhere.
Thanks in advance for any help!

PS. I’ve tried my hand at almost every discipline from riding schools to racing but would rather stay in the less risky side now I’m not as bold anymore ?

There was an advert for someone to work at a trekking centre .i came across it looking at central Scotland horsey Facebook pages but for the life of me I can’t recall the site...would this be too far away to look?

Make sure you are actively looking and applying for jobs on yardandgroom etc rather than just uploading your CV and hoping employers come to you. I was on yardandgroom recently and there seem to be a surprising number of places still advertising.

I am, I’m on there at least twice a week to see if there is anything new. I’ve applied for a few jobs too

If you want to stay in NE Scotland (or even Scotland itself) there will be far fewer jobs. If you want to further your career, you might have to come south to Englandshire - there are a lot more employers down here!

Hmm Id disagree with this, NE Scotland has the second largest horse population after Newmarket, there's loads up here so should be jobs. OP, Id suggest posting on lots of local / Scottish horsey social media pages?

Lucinda Russell Racing is looking for a Head Lass/Lad at Arlary which also has a wee 2 bed cottage with the job if needed. No riding involved if you don't want to but plenty of hands on horse work and some quite cool veterinary stuff to get your teeth sunk into! Central Scotland, just off the M90. Pet's welcome.
