Taz Aldeek, 29, constantly had job applications rejected despite him holding three degrees
After being turned down for nearly 100 jobs and having to rely on benefits for 18 months, a man has now landed his dream job as a barrister.
Though he says he feels that he ‘didn’t fit the mould’ of a barrister, he volunteered at Manchester crown court witness service while working in a hotel to save money. Top news stories today Despite initially being turned down, Taz applied again and was given a scholarship which allowed him to apply for pupillages and internships. After being turned down for roles in law and even jobs unrelated to his degrees, he was forced to sign on to Universal Credit in November 2020.
“I scraped into law school and like anyone at university, it's a financially difficult experience. I felt like I didn't fit the mould but I finished university and thought I'll go for it and ended up committing to it.
