Looking for work can feel overwhelming — especially when you've lost confidence, been out of work for a while, or have no job experience at all.
At KJB International Aid, we understand those challenges because we work with people facing them every day.
Here are two real-life stories that demonstrate how the right support can completely transform someone's future.
Real Stories, Real Results: How KJB Helped Maria and James Rebuild Their Futures. They were looking for work the wrong way.
Maria's Story: From Redundancy to a Career She Loves
Maria had worked in the same role for over a decade. When she was made redundant during the pandemic, she felt like the ground had been pulled from beneath her.
“I hadn’t updated my CV in ten years,” she explained. “I tried applying for jobs, but no one responded. I didn’t know what employers were even looking for anymore.”
She found KJB International Aid on Google search while searching online and booked a consultation. What she received wasn't just a new CV — it was a complete career support service that helped her rebuild her confidence.
With her new CV, cover letters, LinkedIn profile, and one-on-one interview coaching, Maria started to get interviews within weeks. Before long, she landed a role as a project coordinator at a charity — a position that perfectly matched her values and experience.
“KJB didn’t just rewrite my CV. They helped me feel like I had something to offer again.”
James' Story: A Young Graduate Finds His Path
James had just finished college. He had never worked before and had been applying for jobs for six months with no success. After countless rejections and no interviews, he began to believe he would never find work.
“He was completely discouraged,” his mother said. “He thought he wasn’t good enough. It was heartbreaking to watch.”
She reached out to KJB International Aid through a friend's recommendation, hoping we could help her son. James signed up for a beginner CV package and a series of career coaching sessions.
The support focused on helping him understand his strengths, build confidence, and apply for jobs that matched his interests. With a new CV and renewed belief in himself, James applied to the UK Armed Forces — something he had always dreamed of but didn't think was possible.
He was accepted. Now, James is not only serving his country but also receiving financial support and gaining additional qualifications as part of his military career.
“KJB helped him find direction, purpose, and belief in himself,” his mother shared.
