Being made redundant is tough.
RedundantCV isn't just about finding your next role. We wanted it to also be a place where you can get support, advice, and rebuild your career.
Been made redundant? Here's our initial guide on what to do next:
- Redundancy can feel overwhelming, so the first thing to do is to take some time to process this change. Speak to family and friends, write down some of your concerns, and try to maintain your usual routines (eating, sleeping, exercise, etc.).
- Establish what you are entitled to. Take a look at the Money Saving Expert redundancy guide for more information: Money Saving Expert - Redundancy guide
- Assess your current financial situation, and create yourself an initial budget and timeframe. Use this budget makeover guide to help with this process: Budget guide
