Being made redundant or losing one’s job for whatever reason is something we hope will never happen. Unfortunately most of us will experience it at some time in our working lives. It is a time of change and what was a big part of your life has now been taken away. It can be worrying if you are not sure what to do next or have financial concerns.
Many people are made redundant each year and no sector is safe from redundancy. Redundancy can be caused by falling profits, increased competition, takeovers, mergers, technological advances and even poor management.
Try not take it personally - the job was made redundant, not you
Focus on moving forwards rather than looking back.

Do not make a rushed decision - a quick fix might not be the best way forward. Weigh up all your options carefully - this way you'll make the best and most informed decision.
Even if you don't get a job straight away, use your time constructively. If you' are not working you could do voluntary work to get experience in a new line of work. You could also undertake a course to learn new skills; and if you are not working full-time the fees might be reduced.
Learning something new is always a good idea. If you are going for a complete career change you will probably have to get new knowledge and skills to make the change. But even if you're trying to get into the same type of work as before, updating or broadening your skills is still a good idea, because it:
can add another string to your bow
shows you can take care of your own learning and development
proves you are a motivated, positive individual. |
