So I’ve now been a ‘sitter’ member for 3 weeks, and feel that I’ve really benefitted from this Forum (I’ve avidly read EVERYTHING -partly due to having the coughing bug so having been stuck feeling poorly at home on the sofa ). I’ve followed all the top tips and advice. This means editing my profile probably 20 times, each time a result of reading a new top tip. Just today I learnt how to move the ‘about me’ profile photos to create a better first impression.
Anyway I’ve now got some great local (SE England) sits lined up for the Summer/Autumn and I’ve been thinking about the HOs and the process of choosing/being chosen. It’s definitely about the ‘click’…… there’s something in the HO profile which all other things being right for me (location/pets/responsibilities/property), either draws you to applying, or makes you pause for thought, and it really is something intangible……a kind of magic so I’m imaging it’s the same for the HO too reading our profile - it either makes them think nah or yeh!
I’ve been walking dogs for ages and most dogs I can click with straight away whilst a few not immediately and I have to really work at it….it’s the same with cats and horses. It’s all about THE CLICK
