I moved to the UK in 2022 due to the war in Syria. I came over to find a better life and support my family from abroad, but I found it hard to settle in at first due to the language barrier. Even though English isn’t my first language, I can communicate much more confidently now.
I have been looking for work but have been finding it extremely difficult to secure anything. I wanted to be proactive and improve my chances, so I enrolled on an ESOL course to improve my English.
In Syria, I worked as an accountant and ideally I would like to return to the same line of work but for now, I am open to other roles where I can focus on building on the communication skills I already have. With support from Beam, I would really like to find employment as soon as possible so I can improve my living situation.
