A life-changing experience for Viviana

When Viviana made the decision to return to work last year, the prospect of job-hunting and interviews was a daunting one. But, she explains here, thanks to Successful Mums, she never felt alone.

“I previously worked in the hospitality industry as a receptionist and concierge but after having my two children, I had been off work for a long time! After five years, I needed to regain my confidence and get professional advice on how to approach the workforce again. The Successful Mums Back to Work course was exactly what I was looking for.

Special thanks goes to Georgina, our trainer, for her patience and time spent helping me with my CV. Rebuilding your confidence and self-esteem is hard work and it was probably my biggest challenge. I’m glad I wasn’t alone in that process.

It was an experience that changed my life and I walked away from the course with confidence, determination and my “invisible crown” in place! I would definitely recommend Successful Mums to anyone who is in the same situation.

I was guided every single step of the way, was given examples of how to rebuild my career and had the fantastic opportunity to hear other Successful Mums’ stories too.

I am pleased to say I am now happily employed as a part-time admin officer for Bromley Council. Going out to work is like a breath of fresh air. The things I missed most when I wasn’t working was my independence and having time for myself – but now, this is my space and I feel like I have both of those back.

I love my colleagues and it’s been great meeting new people and chatting with adults about things other than baby food and tantrums. So thank you, Successful Mums, for all your hard work and passion!”
