I'm feeling motivated again and ready to get back to work. My ultimate goal is to work full-time as an illustrator but understand that will take time as I build up contacts and experience. I am taking on odd jobs at the moment but want to balance this with stabilising my financial situation.
I've always enjoyed working in retail. Being part of a team and helping each other out is something I enjoy doing. I suffered from mental health issues in the past but work has always been something which has helped this. Whenever I've been at work, it's helped stimulate and focus my mind.
Being connected with an organisation and network of supporters who can help me fund training, and get the right clothing for interviews and travel costs feels amazing. These things will help remove a lot of stress from my mind and focus on securing a job.
