Hi Beam, my name is Joanna and I am excited to join this lovely community.
I have had a tough last couple of years. In 2020, I was caring for my mother. After lockdown started, my mother became extremely sick & unfortunately passed away. As we were in lockdown I was forced to isolate myself as I was still living with my mother at the time of her death. I was very confused and hurt, I felt like I was drowning.
Three days after my mother died, my aunt who is my mother's youngest sister passed away. I was in shock and in disbelief. It took a lot of mental strength to come back from this extremely dark period of my life! I lost a lot of confidence, I am still working on becoming a better version of myself. I had a lot of support from family/friends during this dark period.
I am currently living in a hostel room without much space. I am constantly thinking of the next stage of my life where I can settle down. Simple things like having a place to put a Christmas tree up are very important to me. I would like to feel content and settled.
For this reason, I would like a permanent job where I can thrive within the company and build a future where I can have a home where I feel comfortable & peaceful. All I want is peace of mind. In the future, I would like to go back to the gym as it is important to feel comfortable with my physical appearance.
I am eager to start a job in administration. I thrive within an administrative role because I am highly organised. I enjoy being in such an important and supportive role that allows me to work with a lot of people whilst being responsible for all ad hoc tasks. I have personal experience with administration and personal assistant roles for over 10 years.
Within this industry I feel like I am constantly developing my skill set, it is where I feel confident. Similarly, I would like to explore careers in social media. Over half of the world’s population uses social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. It is a natural place to reach new & highly targeted potential customers & consumers.
For most companies today, it is a pre-requisite that you have some form of social media knowledge so that you can manage media on behalf of the company/organisation.
Looking beyond these two careers, a future goal of mine is to run my own business. I will use this social media to help reach and Increase brand awareness among customers and consumers of my company.
Knowing there are people out there supporting me to achieve my dreams is so moving. I am very thankful, almost in disbelief. I think I will believe it once it happens, but I am grateful to be at this stage & it is a blessing.
