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. Taz Aldeek, 29, constantly had job applications rejected despite him holding three degrees - including a masters.
Forced to apply for universal credit to survive he racked up debts of up to £10,000. Fortunately, Taz, from Wilmslow, Cheshire, has now secured a job as a case officer at the Information Commissioner's Office and will start as a pupillage at the Crown Prosecution Service in September.
Taz told the Mirror: "It was a very difficult time for me, my physical health was deteriorating, and I was trying my best to stay positive but felt like I was in a dark place. Now I’m ready for the job, I've got the experience nationally and internationally and I’m as ready as I'm ever going to be – I'm happy to be in crime and public service with the CPS.
