Work Wanted - Pet Retail Based VIC
Work Wanted - Pet Retail Based VIC
Well, now that its quieting down for winter I've been laid off and I'm seeking a position in the animal industry. I have grooming experience but am after a non-grooming role (but am happy to lend a hand in times of need) and am looking at a grooming salon reception or retail/pet shop assistant etc. I am self-motivated, enthusiastic and committed with qualifications in Veterinary Nursing, Animal Nutrition and Grooming with experience in grooming/retail/pet shop environments.
I reside in Emerald VIC and all I require is good public transport nearby, other than that I am happy to travel. Preferably part-time, Tuesdays to Fridays, occasional weekend work.
If anyone has any openings or know of anyone please let me know. I can send my CV and cover letter to anyone interested. Otherwise email me at: i_groom@yahoo.com.au
Thank-you

Good luck Justagroomer. It's quietened down for me too since the cooler weather kicked in about 2 weeks ago, so guess we're in for the winter times ahead. Hoping you pick up something that will keep you going, you should have no problems with all those qualifications!! let us know how you go. lisa.

I thought it might just be me with less bookings happening. Thought we'd get another month of flat out at least. Good luck with the job hunt. My franchisor is looking for a p/t mobile groomer, if you're interested check out the thread.

Re: Work Wanted - Pet Retail Based VIC
Thanks guys, I know many groomers now are quieting down but being on contract if theres not enough dogs then one of us doesn't come in (usually me, unfortunately). I appreciate the mobile grooming offer but I live with someone who is also a mobile groomer and there'd be too much competition in the area
I'll keep you posted if anything pops up and its appreciated if you could let me know if you spot something, happy grooming everyone

Re: Work Wanted - Pet Retail Based VIC
Hi justagroomer, we require someone to work in the eastern suburbs, however we are mobile based. You would need a car to tow the trailer. We have no shortage of work, in fact over the past six weeks, we have turned away over 600 new customers, just because our 20 franchisees have way too much work. I am desperate to find someone to help take this work, either as an employee or a sub contractor. Let me know if anyone is interested, 0411 131 546 or craigp @ jimsdogwash.com.au

Well, if you wanted to try mobile grooming, I would consider a part time subcontractor deal. Things are not getting quiet here in Glen Waverley. Still booking in $350-500 a day.
Got the impression from your first post you wanted a change though

D'oh!
I didn't even look at last post date prior to Craig's post for Jim's group above.
Pretty sure justagroomer will have sorted something by now.
