I have been out of work for the last two years due to family circumstances, unfortunately my mother has needed some extra support at home due to her physical health. My days consisted of taking my sister to school in the morning, helping my mum out with the day to day necessities and general upkeep of the family house.
Being out of employment really affected my mental health causing my anxiety to flare up which made it easier for me to put off going back to work. I found it extremely difficult to find work the first time round due to my dyslexia where I struggled to complete application forms and put together a good CV.
I really enjoyed working in hospitality and would really like to go back doing the same type of work. I found hospitality really boosted my confidence as It helped me get over my fear of meeting new people. My aim is to get back into work so I can rebuild my confidence and regain structure within my life.
Working with Beam has really given me a second chance to get back into work and has motivated me to want to achieve my goals.
