Jobseeking after Redundancy
Redundancy, whether an unexpected shock, or a long-awaited
development can be difficult
to deal with.
However, it gives people an opportunity to take stock and
examine their career and
life ambitions. A good tactic to avoid losing confidence in
finding another job
is to start the search for a new job as soon as you hear of
your redundancy. One
of the advantages of job seeking following a redundancy is
that you’re available
immediately to start a job.
However, those thinking of applying for voluntary redundancy

mark against you in your
employer’s eyes, impacting your future career in the
company.
