you are made redundant for the third time :facepalm:

Think of it as a door opening rather than a door closing

Having been in a similar situation I know how it feels, but you never know what is around the corner, it might be a blessing in disguise

I was made redundant at 22 with the only experience of working on a food production line.

Also redundancy @ 24 with a little more experience of assisting to run a nappy manufacturing line

Then redundant again at 34 with a bit more experience, but again in manufacturing and machine operations

After a couple of in between jobs being a courier and again running production machinery / team leader I am now doing what I love. I am working in a bike shop, my LBS.

I know it may seem bleak right now, but just keep yer chin up

You will find something work wise.

You may have to retrain

You may find something in which you are already trained

Or something completely out of the blue may blind side you and you will be doing something you never thought possible.

I got most of my most recent jobs via word of mouth & a good network of friends, ask all your mates if they know of anything going (if you haven't already)

Taking even a crappy job will look good on your CV to prospective employers as it shows willingness to work

Go on a course or two to retrain, or just for the hell of it. I did a media course when unemployed, it killed time & was fun & it looks like you are doing something on your CV when employers look at it

Oh and you can now go and ride your bike whenever you like
