March 2020 was a difficult time for many. Businesses were closing shop, lockdown came into effect, and people were losing their lives to the coronavirus. Shortly before the lockdown started, my Managing Director at Enable Holidays, had to make the unfortunate decision to let staff go. The ramifications of Thomas Cook, Flybe, and other airlines shutting down meant we could not stay open and keep all staff members on board.
So, I was unemployed. But, thanks to the guidance provided by the staff at Protocol Consultancy Services. I was able to complete my Level 3 Social Media Apprenticeship. With no job prospects and a lockdown officially in effect, I signed on to Universal Credit, buying me some time until everything started to go back to normal.
