Ruby Halsey

Springboard Programme: Savoy Destination Hospitality

Region: East Sussex

Year: 2021

I had been out of paid work for a long while and was struggling to find a job. I was put in touch with Springboard via the
jobcentre/universal credit.

Having spent most of my work life in retail jobs alongside studying, I thought about doing something exciting and
different, like working in the hospitality industry, as this was always something that had interested me. Though this often proved to be difficult as most bars/restaurants seemed to be looking for experienced staff only. However, I have recently found myself a paid job in hospitality all thanks to the useful skills and amazing help and support from the lovely staff at Springboard. Without them I truly believe I wouldn’t have stood a chance and wouldn’t have been offered this job. I have learnt some great skills and knowledge through the online webinars which are now transferable skills. I have also developed much more confidence, improved my interview skills and had great help with getting my CV up to standard!

 

Ruby secured a role at Shakeaway in October and has settled in well.
