“I felt excited to be given a second chance”

Hi my name is James and I am 29. 

I studied at NIDA for a while but I decided I needed to find a job so I could support myself. Initially I thought I would just find a job but I found it a lot harder than I thought. I had only ever worked for a family business so I didn’t have a lot of references. 

I felt a bit anxious about applying for jobs because I wasn’t sure I would be able to support myself properly. 

I heard about Hamlet through a newsletter and applied straight away, I felt excited to be given a second chance. Hamlet has been a really good learning environment for me because it has helped me develop new skills and be supported along the way. 

My favourite thing about Hamlet is feeling like I have a purpose to get up early in the morning. I feel like I really have skills in this industry now and I am still developing more everyday.

My superhero power would be:
