I'm Iresha, a proud mother of a beautiful 5-year-old girl. I'm originally from Sri Lanka, where I worked in financial services and as an audit associate at Ernst & Young. We moved to the UK a while ago and, although it was initially challenging to find a place to live, we're now comfortably settled. Despite my professional background, I've been finding it tough to secure a stable job here, which has been my biggest challenge so far. I've been applying for 4-5 jobs daily, focusing on graduate roles and entry-level positions, but I haven't had much luck yet.
What keeps me going is my love for ribbon embroidery, badminton, and baking - activities that I enjoy in my free time, often with the help of my family. I'm also doing some research work on Upwork Freelancing, but I'm keen to find a more stable job that will improve my earning ability. I'm looking to work 16 - 30 hours per week, starting with working during school hours. I'm also happy to leave my daughter in childcare, which will allow me to focus on my work.
With Beam's help, I've received excellent interview coaching, which has given me a lot of confidence. I'm excited about launching this crowdfunding campaign because I know that the team is fully supportive and willing to help me achieve my goal. I need funding for a laptop, childcare, travel, and an internet dongle to start a job.
