“I had 25 years of experience but I still didn’t believe in myself.”
When Jae started looking for work, her biggest challenge wasn’t her CV, it wasn’t her skills, it wasn’t her experience - it was confidence.
After more than 25 years in administration, including senior roles within a leading university, Jae found herself questioning her value and wondering if she’d ever find a role that worked around family life.
Sound familiar?
Through our Back to Work, Digital Skills and Confidence course, Jae rebuilt her confidence, refreshed her skills and started seeing herself differently.
Then she applied for a role she might once have talked herself out of - and she got it! 🙌
Today, she’s thriving in a flexible role in education that fits around her family and has rediscovered her belief in what’s possible.
“The training has shown me that I am capable of far more than I had given myself credit for.”
If you’ve been doubting yourself, Jae’s story shows that sometimes the biggest thing standing between where you are and where you want to be is recognising your own potential.
