Though it can come as a shock, being laid off can also be an extraordinarily positive catalyst for change. Redundancy can actually improve your career if you handle it well.
So if you lose your job, don’t lose your faith. Here are some basic things to follow.

1. Think positively
It is common to have negative thoughts when yo’ve been made redundant. Instead, try to run them into positive thinking to help move yourself forward, and improve your confidence and motivation.

2. Stay active
Going from an office environment to being at home, will create a big vacuum, making it difficult to cope with the first weeks of redundancy. Try to create a similar routine by getting up at the same time, planning your day and actively working to find another job. Don’t fall into the trap of treating time without work as a holiday.

3. Be strategic
Planning is the key to success. Think of yourself as a product that needs to be marketed and devise your strategy accordingly. Sell the benefits of why somebody should employ you and match your skills to their requirements. The scatter-gun approach just wastes time and effort.

4. Get help
The Government offers lots of free and practical help. No matter you are looking to update your skills and qualifications, or even looking to set up your own business, there are lots of free advice offered.
