Being made redundant can be overwhelming, but it can also be the start of an exciting new opportunity. While it’s normal to feel uncertain, taking a few positive steps can help you get back into work sooner.

Here are our top tips:

Update your CV with your latest experience, achievements and skills.

Refresh your LinkedIn profile so recruiters and employers can find you.

Register with a recruitment agency to access vacancies that may not be advertised elsewhere.

Tailor your applications to each role rather than sending the same CV to every employer.

Prepare for interviews and be ready to explain your redundancy positively – employers understand that restructures happen.

Stay positive and keep applying.

Redundancy doesn’t define your abilities or your future.
