Filip got support to start exploring his career options

At just 19 years old, Filip was facing unemployment and uncertainty about his future when he was referred to Futures for support with job searching and career planning.

With limited experience and confidence, Filip needed guidance to take his first steps into the world of work. Through one-to-one support, he began building the skills and mindset needed to move forward.

The challenge

Filip was unemployed and unsure how to begin his job search. He had been placed on a BTEC in Audio but lacked the tools and confidence to apply for roles. He needed help with CV writing, job applications, and understanding how to present himself to employers.

The approach

Filip worked closely with his adviser, Richard, to:

  • Improve his CV
  • Learn how to write cover letters
  • Set up job applications on his phone
  • Explore short-term and long-term job options
  • Receive support with university statements and course applications

Richard provided consistent encouragement and practical advice, helping Filip feel more confident and focused in his job search.

I've found the information in the sessions has been useful in helping me find a direction, and Richard has been really eager to help me achieve my goals.

The result

Filip is still seeking employment but now feels more confident and capable of applying for both short-term and long-term roles. He’s actively job searching and has a clearer understanding of his goals and how to achieve them.
