I don't know if i'm ready to go back into employment, It as been two decades and more. I'm not sure what i should do, i get really anxious and overwhelmed at job interviews, not know what to expert, and starting anew. I'm in my middle 40s and have not have much work experience, have done training and workshops after i have left secondary school, ie IT courses, short course painting & decorating, brick work course have been looking after my parent after that time

    Hi @jwalsh bless you, I can completely empathise with how you must be feeling. Is this a change that is effecting you now, or concern about the recent announcements?
