Being made redundant can leave you trying to solve ten different problems at once.
Money. Your CV. Finding another job. Explaining what happened. Whether to tell people. Whether to take the first offer you get. And occasionally wondering what the hell you're supposed to do at 10am on a Tuesday now you don't have a job.
This guide gives you a practical plan.
You'll learn how to:
get organised immediately after redundancy
capture your achievements before you forget them
work out how urgently you need another job
decide what you're actually looking for
explain the redundancy to recruiters and employers
use your existing network properly
structure your job search
diagnose what's going wrong if applications aren't working
decide whether redundancy could be an opportunity to change direction
It won't pretend redundancy is secretly wonderful.
It will help you work out what to do next.
