Redundancy!
:thumbdown:
What a fucka of a day. Being made redundant. :cry: Anybody any ideas? need work asap. |
Sorry to hear that Chris - I've been made redundant 3 times in the past and it's always a shitter. :thumbdown:
|
wow sorry to hear it mate
|
sorry to hear that chris but depends how long you have been there depends on the payment u get my dad just been made it and got 25 grand
|
I joined the company at 16, in 1996. I have 4 months notice period.
To be honest, im glad to be out of the company, they're making bad decisions, have made loads in the past and are continuein to do so and they're not listening to management. I just hope I can find something quickly :cry: |
your best bet is to make an appointment with your local bennefits office, and see what advice they can give, but don't expect to find any 'good' jobs there, depending on your age, you may well be entitled to re-training courses too.
Otherwise, time to scour the papers etc |
Sorry to hear that Chris, what is your field of expertise?
|
I do Import & Export and my qualifications are with Institute of Export - which covers Sales, Economics, Accountancy and Logistics. My title was Logistics & Despatch Manager.
|
Sorry to hear that chris hope you find something new soon :(
A |
:thumbdown:, been there Chris and I echo everyone elses sentiments, hope you find something else soon.
|
Sorry to hear it Chris, only advice I can give it to get registered anywhere you can, agencies/websites etc then look into anything you see come up!
|
Thanks guys.
Anybody know of ANY vacancies, give me a nod. |
EDIT: No matter what i say i get some idiot telling me to piss off etc soill just leave these ones blanks.........

Im not in the mood to laugh Ash, any serious suggestions?
|
Ash, don't be a cnut all your life, take a day off. :thumbdown:
|
register with these online CV places, scour the times etc, at least being made redundant and not electing redundancy will allow you access to your mortgage protection....
|
Ash, that couldn't be in any worse taste! :thumbdown:
Chris don't panic, 4 months is plenty of time to get sorted. There is work out there if you look for it. I had all this crap last month as there were big changes to the aircraft I was working on (can't disclose any more) and the work now doesn't need doing. (i would've been on 2 wks notice as limited company now...) Had to look at all options just in case and there is work out there. PM me if you want any links/agencies/contacts etc. |
Ring around everywhere mate. Maybe you could ask ASDA or Tesco's for one of their managing positions??? They seem to be building a few new ones up everywhere in the country? Other than that put your CV on one of those online job searcher/finder websites......I know how it feels to get made redundant mate. I got made redundant about 3 months ago. Was lucky in the fact that i found a company that took me on and have been in work since (plumbing)....but now there's the possibility i might get made redundant again :thumbdown: Then again in 4 months time the work might pick up again and everything might be ok......
|
Unlucky dude, that really sucks.
Im registered with www.jobsite.co.uk and get daily emails, they seem to have a lot of vacancies on their site. HTH |
I registered with Ozzle and I get jobs sent to me every month....I just don't have the qualifications for most of them.
Good luck dood. Sure you'll find something. |
jobsite shite m8...all they do is scavenge add's from other site's they could be month's old and very often repeated daily.....trust me since i was made redundant in november....
best site is monster.co.uk........also best advise i can give is make sure you CV is the dog's.....my first 2 got some big :thumbdown: from certain recruitment agency's.... its very tough out there...i spent 7 hours going round the NEC spring fair on monday ...some 5000 businesses selling...i managed to get 15 to take my CV...some had notice's up saying NO CV's, most just said were laying people off rather than recruiting.... i even tried for a driving job with tesco's. was told politly NO as with my management experience they know i won't hang around if offered a better job and they'd rather have someone who will...they had plenty of choice..2 driving jobs 450 applicant's.. |
EDIT: No matter what i say i get some idiot telling me to piss off etc soill just leave these ones blanks.........

Sorry to hear that Chris, Good luck finding something else.

As an employer, I wouldn't employ someone, train them etc, knowing that as soon as a good offer came along, they would be off.... plenty of Ashley's out there to employ |

I thought 8 years retail management experience might be useful to someone as well, but I'm not even getting thanks, but no thanks letters. :cry: Oh, and Ash, stay the fuck out of this thread in future. |

Mate, you've gotta zip it now :mad: |
Chris,
sorry to hear it dude, Oilcareers.com is a good site as well as oilandgasjobsearch.com, i know you haven't worked in oil before but they do need guys for logistics. you never know. Planet recruit ain't bad either. but i use the two above and jobsite mostly. i know people have said its crap and they have everything that is on other sites, but to me that is good. |
I found Monster best too, but also had my cv ripped apart by agencies who were scouring on there!! Definitely try to make it a top notch layout and content cv, from what I have heard (I'm kinda half expecting the same news in the next month or two) there are still some jobs out there, but they'll all have loads of applicants, so the cv is the only way of getting in the door in the first place.
In fact for that reason I'd hook up with at least one agency Chris, even if just to use them to take a look at your cv! Best of luck! |
That sucks mate. Happened to me on the 23rd December!!:mad:
I will keep an eye open when I am looking for stuff for myself.;) |
Im already with a few recruitment companies. Difference now is that I am available for immediate start - which may make a big difference.
What I don't like about recruitment companies, is I have found in the past, they sent you for an interview, get some positive feedback but don't get the job, then the recruitment company just seems to halt any further attempts to put you forward for a vacancy. :cry: It was Alchemy that did this. Got a good one in Sale who specialise in shipping and logistics jobs, hoping to call in to see them tomorrow or Friday. Anyway, I won't be short of effort in looking. On the plus side, I have no debt, no loans and no mortgage, but even so - not got loads of money and my racing is going to suffer big time until I know I have an income. All this, the day after I find a house I am interested in and start to consider a mortgage :lol: was that a kiss of death? |
