I have worked as a hospitality worker for 8 years, and I'm 41. After years of wanting more, I decided to move into cybersecurity, and I have completed an online certificate. What I'm missing is someone who has walked this path: feedback on my interview answers, a realistic view of the job market in Alexandria, and a sounding board when things feel overwhelming. I'm hoping for one 45-minute video call a month for six months, plus the occasional email question. I'll bring specific questions and I won't waste your time. All I can offer back is my thanks, and I'll mentor someone else once I'm settled. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

  • good luck. Hope the shop reopens soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

    • Wishing you the best, Maryam. Small businesses are the heart of Alexandria. Hope you're open again soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

      • wishing you the best, Maryam. This could happen to any of us.

        • reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. Love from San Miguel de Tucumán.

          • So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Cape Town

            • Sending strength. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 22 people at work.

              • Good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Alexandria.

                • You're not alone. Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Warangal.
