Gosh that is a big increase. One that is not to be sniffed at. It takes very careful consideration !!!The main problem is that i really like my job, but the money stinks for the work that i do. Originally I only asked for an extra £90 a month and I was turned down. Now this job i applied for is an extra £159 a month.
What do I do if suddenly they offer me more money here?
It would have been much simpler if I had got my AI and become a riding instructor. Still whats the saying, "if wishes were horses, beggers would ride"
Good Luck with your interview, there's no harm in going for it then seeing how you feel about it once you're there.
I had an interview last Friday (got the job) I wasn't sure if I wanted to work there but got a really good vibe about it. If you want some sample interview questions/tips I've got some I can email to you. Let me know.

i know but i loved working with them. from the age of 13 to 19 i worked voluntary at a local riding school. then i left to groom privately, (just spare time work), then i left to get my teaching certificate at the worst stables in History, where the owner was an ex jockey who used to beat his wife and we used to hear it on the yard.
I was supposed to learn to teach but was spending 8 or 9 hours a day in the saddle taking out hacks. Right nightmare.
THAT IS HORRENDOUS !!!
It was and the owner was an ex-jockey. The stables were in Bishop Stortford and I am not sure if it is still going now as i heard that she took their kids and went.
I worked at a worse one than that though. I did voluntary work from 1983 to 1989 at a riding school and we were worked like slaves, never got a free lesson or anything and the woman in charge was verbally abusive to me at times, but i just put up with it as i loved the horses. What makes me sick is that she got an MBE for all her hard work.
Should that have been for all your hard work...................
