I’m 53 years old and have been a pub manager since I was 30. I love my job and hope to find something like it when restrictions are lifted.

I’m living on a Jobseeker’s Allowance and although I’ve cut my spending as much as I can, I’m still around £200 a month short.
So I’m relying on my credit card and the ‘buy now, pay later’ plan but I’ve been in debt for £4,000 since last March and I don’t know how this can stop anytime soon.
DEIDRE SAYS: Many companies want to have emotionally mature and experienced employees, so don’t put yourself off.
