    Its tough, but you'll get there

    Never been made redundant, but left my last job before I was ready and had a month to find work.

    Bearing in mind I've been down south for 9 years, getting a job in Yorkshire looked hard work, but its not as bad as it seems, just needs dedication and a little bit of graft, and of course, some luck.

    Keep yourself busy and don't dwell on it, get this weekend out of the way and get your CV straight on Monday. Treat job hunting as a full time job and you may be surprised what you'll find out there.

    Redundancy

    Sorry to hear about your job loss. I understand what it is like.

    Make sure they pay you the correct redundancy pay that you are entitled to. You may be entitled to more than the statutory amount, check your employment contract.

    You will need to make sure you are claiming all the welfare benefits that you are entitled to.

    If you have any debts, are you covered by payment protection insurance?

    Now good luck with your job hunt :)

    If it's any help...

    ....I was made redundant about 3 years ago and it's probably turned out to be the best thing that could have happened to me. Obviously things were a little better back then but it got me out of a rut and I've managed to make it work in my advantage. Hope the same happens to you.
