1) Come down, Stay positive. I have faced with redundancy myself couple years ago. It was very hard period of time for me. I didn’t know what to do, I could not find job, I was not sure weather I should change industry or keep on trying to see weather some job will come up…. Basically I was lost and depressed. However, I was trying to stay positive for most of time. As it helped me to come up with different ideas and approaches to find job. Finally I have found job! Besides employers may feel that you are desperate and may think you want job because you need it but not want it…
2) Turn to the government for help. Today there are lots of different programs that are offered by government to support those who are not employed and have been made redundant. Check what your government is offering and claim all possible benefits. That will help you to stay on the ground for the time being and will help to keep attitude positive.
3) Sort out your financial situation. Some people like me, can have mortgage or debt to pay off when been redundant. This situation in today economic crisis can be really scary. However, come down and don’t worry. Talk to your bank they definitely have experience dealing with things like this. Some of the options they can offer you are: restructure of your loan, give you loan free year, or decrease your down payment… More tips are you can find at label personal finance.
4) Talk to your legal advisor- not everyone may need it, however you want to make sure that all your rights are reserved, especially if you feel that there is something dodgy is going on.
5) Start looking for a job – there are many online websites right now that offer job search service,. Visit professional meetings, go for trainings, talk to Hr in companies you are interested in... Just start doing things you like to do or think you want to do. There are lots of people out there who put their passion into everyday work. Who knows you can be one of them…….
6) Consider starting education. If you cant find job straight away, probably education is your choice. There are many great options of education out there – online, courses, universities, master programs and other. Whether you want to receive it from government or from other sources check on continuing education tips
7) Take your time for yourself. Lots of people out there suggest traveling as much as you can. Enjoy your freedom. Personally I think it does not meter whether you go travel somewhere or simply stay home just take a time off to think about your life what is important and what you like/what to do in future
8) Develop social channels. While employed sometimes it is a choice between going for a beer with fiends or be able to start work in the morning next day. However, when you are redundant you have plenty of time for socializing. Communicate with your friends. Even more make new friends. Use redundancy as opportunity to broader your connection and maybe someone will recommend you for a job
9) Focus on result. Remember looking for a job it is full time job. Sometimes numbers (quantity of cv send) are important. All you need is to be in right place at right time. Don’t get upset if you receive no after no. You don’t know their motives for saying no and it is certainly should not stop you.
10) Take any job. If you are in real trouble you can take any job at the beginning just to keep you sound on the ground. However, don’t stop there, continue to look for something you will really enjoy.
Hope u will find job soon!
