I have been trying to find work so that I can support me and my family since September but it hasn't been easy. Living in a hotel with 2 children and not having any previous experience working in the UK has been challenging. That's why it feels so good to start getting some support.
Right now I just want a job. In the future, I would like to have the opportunity to continue my degree. It would be great to get a job where I can progress and develop my career within the company. My biggest dream is to have my own business one day. I had a few start ups in my home country, from being a butcher, to producing food to selling clothes. I’ve always tried! A long time ago I even had a beauty salon with my mum.
Now I am looking at working in sales again. I have always enjoyed this work. I think I’m a people person, I like to talk and help people. I really love sales. I like to work for something I believe in. For example, I don’t want to sell someone something that isn’t good for them. I want to help customers to have the best experience and receive a product that makes them happy. I like the process of building relationships.
Whilst I am looking for work, I am also volunteering for an organisation that provides clothes to those in need. I speak with the community, find out what they need, and find it for them.
It's not just helping others and sales that bring me happiness. My children bring me my greatest happiness, when they are happy I feel happy. Fulfilling their needs, achieving my goals and learning new things brings me happiness. I trust that when I find a job I will be able to fulfil their needs more easily, and find us a home to enjoy together next.
