Before the pandemic everything was going well for me, I was an Assistant Manager and was enjoying my role. Once the news broke that we were going into lockdown I wasn’t worried as I knew it was for a good cause and I was also being furloughed so that got rid of any worries related to finances.
During the lockdown, my relationship with my partner was tested and resulted in us parting ways, which negatively affected me and I didn't take the breakup well. I was now alone and responsible for paying the full rent on our flat and I wasn’t even sure if I would have a job in the coming months.
It was not long after that I was made redundant, I no longer had the cushion of furlough helping me to get by I had to come up with a plan quickly. I decided to sign up with an agency and found work in a warehouse, but it was not good enough as the roles were always temporary and hours were never promised.
I have managed to stay afloat for as long as possible, but I'm now facing eviction and I need to find employment as quickly as possible so I can keep my home. I believe with the support from Beam and all of you lovely people I will be able to attain my goal of finding employment as I currently lack the tools needed to do it alone.
