Every horse person should have a resume. It can help in a multitude of ways. Initially, it allows you to determine what skills and qualifications you have currently. From here it may:
- Help in securing your first job
- Help you to realise what an incredible addition you’d be to someone’s team of employees
- Be ready made when someone offers you a job and suggests you give them a copy of your resume
- Be added to as you achieve more with regards to skills
There’s an online networking website called LinkedIn. On here you can list your resume, which can be a great way for potential employees to see what you’re capable of and what you’ve achieved.
The site is called LinkedIn because the aim of it is to connect (or link) with people who could help you progress with your career. These people could be work colleagues, employers, business owners, company starters, self employed – you name it! The great thing about LinkedIn, is that once you’re connected with someone directly, then you’re within contact reach of all of their connections.
For example, if you look up Christine Meunier on LinkedIn, you ask to connect with me and I accept, you’re then connected by this one contact with people that:
- Manage studs
- Work for racing organisations
- Teach equine studies
- Run their own businesses
The list goes on. If you’re not already on LinkedIn but are serious about increasing your contact base and showing off your resume, I encourage you to do so. There are also discussion groups on many topics that you can join and participate in.
And added bonus is that your connections can endorse you for the work you claim to be able to do. Check it out!
