"Before joining Hurdle, I felt unmotivated, lonely, and lacked self-belief. Since joining the community, I no longer feel that way. I now have a support network that provides encouragement, accountability, and honest conversations about the realities of job-hunting. The September Surge Challenge, alongside workshops from the trusted Hurdle coaches, has taught me so much. I have more structure in my day-to-day, as well as receiving insightful feedback and advice. I feel more confident, optimistic, and supported as a result."
