I would like to find a job in retail as I have lots of experience in the sector. I was a store manager for 10 years and so, I have a lot of valuable experience in customer service. I started off part-time and was able to move myself up to a managerial position. I think going back into retail will be good for me as it's something that I enjoy, that is flexible and that works around my children's schedule. It will be good for me to go out, socialise and meet new people.
I fled from a domestically violent relationship which led to me being homeless. I struggle sometimes being a single parent, especially now that we've been housed quite far away from our family home. I have to make long journeys for the school runs and don't get as much support from my family because of the long distance.
I need to focus on myself and my children so that I can be fully independent. Finding a job will allow me to improve my housing too. Family is extremely important to me so I'm keeping my children at the forefront of everything I do.
