Lockdown

As someone who has been furloughed from my part time job and is actively looking for a junior software developer role I can tell you for a fact it’s hard. There’s very few roles available and with no end in sight for lock down it doesn’t look like our situations about to change any time soon. I’ve even started to apply for key worker roles just so I have some more income coming in. Someone can only take so many rejections from people before keeping your head up and keeping motivated becomes difficult.

Lock down has taken a toll on everyone. It has disrupted routines, destroyed peoples mental health and lots of companies have had to make hard decisions. It has however also done some good, it has allowed parent’s to spend more time with their children, we appreciate the NHS and Key workers more than we ever have before and people have started learning new skills through online training courses.

At the end of it all we might appreciate life a little more. We have made some major improvements to the environment by not allowing humans to destroy it and hopefully we will be able to keep it that way. Our government might finally have the appropriate talks regarding the funding of our health care system, now that we know how vital they and many other key worker roles are.

Really who know’s how big of an impact will this have on the way we live our lives? But I’m looking forward to the future, finding a job role suitable for me and finally getting to socialise with people outside of my household again. Just need to keep positive and maybe it will all be over by September/October.
