Facing my anxiety and getting back to work

I have just started a new role as an Employer Outreach and Partnerships Executive for a recruitment agency. I will be working with the founder of the company to develop a training course which will be presented to employers from different organisations about how they can help autistic employees.

The Employment and Education team at Mosaic referred me to Dress for Success who gave me a couple of outfits which I used for the interview. It was an amazing contribution for making me feel confident for the interview.

Mosaic staff also did a Zoom mock interview with me. It was brilliant, it really helped me feel confident for the interview questions, something that I have always struggled with.

Being able to come into Mosaic since the building reopened helped me also find out about SRA where I am now volunteering in the copy shop. I am enjoying it, I find it really beneficial as work experience and for my mental health, it is making me more resilient and confident.

I really appreciated regular calls from Mosaic staff when the building was closed. More recently it was lovely to get a reach out call from a member who helped me through a tough time in a previous job. It helped me face my anxiety and go back to work.
