After leaving Ukraine, my journey has been filled with challenges. It's been tough to secure a skilled job in the UK, and despite countless applications and interviews, I've faced a lot of rejection. This has been disheartening, especially as my council payments finished, and I began to struggle financially. With over 15 years of experience as a Graphic Designer and Marketing Manager, the biggest challenge has been finding fulfilling work that uses my skills and experience.
Despite these obstacles, I have remained resilient and recently secured a job as an Assistant Manager at a retail store! Finally securing a job has been amazing, however, as I am currently struggling financially and the job is far away it is difficult for me to travel to my new job. Having the support to fund my first month’s travel and get the necessary security checks so that I can start working would be great.
Looking forward, I am very excited to begin my new role and to progress to eventually become a Store Manager and a successful business owner. Achieving this goal has already brought my a lot of happiness and I cannot wait to see the positive results of my work and be able to support my family without any stress. I am very grateful for all of your warm support!
