After experimenting with different strategies and facing numerous setbacks, he was feeling disheartened. A turning point came when he attended a workshop at the Job Centre which is run by Lambeth Council.

James also learned crucial interview techniques, like the STAR method, which proved invaluable during his job search.
After months of perseverance, James secured a position as a Security Officer, a role that he felt was a perfect fit. Reflecting on his journey, James credits the mentorship and support he received as key factors in his success. He says, “I am filled with gratitude! Your guidance and support made all the difference in securing this opportunity.”
