very sorry to hear that mate, keep your chin up.

Im sure you will find something soon.

Join an agency as fast as you can, they will find you something suitable pretty quick.

As said in the last post whats was your job?

Bad luck mate

Hope something turns up for you.

Really sorry.

It's happened to me & it's a very strange feeling. After a week you'll have a better idea what to do. With luck, you'll find another job soon, and hopefully you'll have a tax free sum to boot. Most important is to not view it as a purely bad thing; I know some people who have paid off their mortgages through several redundancys!

I was made redundant last July -- my advice is (if possible) take some time to decide what YOU want to do.

It could be the opportunity to make a complete change and fulfill something you have been thinking about for a while.

I changed from flying round the world (Japan, Korea and America) to running a Post Office -- I miss the travelling but not the office/company politics.

Stay positive and think it through

Sales - Electrical Wholsaler (trade).

Since leaving school - 10yrs for an electrical installation company - made redundant. A contractor area supervisor for NTL - 8 years, made redundant. Did car sales for 18 months but left due to never seeing my son and wanting a better life. 9 months till today as Sales - Electrical Wholsaler (trade).

Gives me time to work on the car i suppose but no ££ to buy stuff i need

New venture/career needed.

I get paid for this month and next month will be tax, NI free.... which should help.

Bad Luck Jon     hope all works out in long term for ya    

[ChrisF]

Sorry to hear about this Fish I hope that things work out for you...life throws these things at us but keep your chin up, make sensible decisions and remember that things always work out in the end

Sorry to hear this Jon  

Been there and got the t shirt on this one  

Get CV up to date and start mailing it out, i've got a couple of jobs in the past that weren't advertised by knocking on doors and showing willing...

Don't think any job is really safe these days  

Work in the NHS now and that used to be 'safe'

Not any more though

Hey M8 that's tough. You seemed so happy with new job too.

I'm sure you'll get yourself into something soon, but worrying for you and family. If you get hungry, I'll give you a meal or two.

Sorry to hear that Dude... Been there too many times and know exactly how you feel. I've had one come right out the blue like that as well and they are a real b***h.

Just don't sell the car unless it becomes a real nessecity, I contemplated it once when I was out of work, but I know I would have regretted it a few months later when I'd got another job.

Fook selling your car, if it comes to that I'll gladly chip in so you can keep it

I bet there is  few like minded Westy fans who would do the same
