Peter Istead, managing director Michael Page Finance, London and South East, says: ‘People who have taken redundancy or been made redundant shouldn’t worry about it. Be honest on your CV – a lot of people understand it.
‘Previously there was an element of stigma – do you make your best people redundant? But that is often completely out of your control these days and candidates shouldn’t be negative in their outlook. That comes out in the CV but more importantly at interview.’

Push for support
Istead says that if you are made redundant, you should get some support from your employer and you should ‘push for that.’
‘Much of the support that employers offer through out-placements is good in terms of preparing you, but there is nothing like getting out there and finding a job,’ he says. ‘There are more routes than you may used to have – job boards, working your networks … If you believe you are going back into the right sort of organisation where you can make a difference, then taking a short-term job is very commonplace. Don’t feel you are one of a few people doing this.’
Some people start as in betweeners then find they like the interim world. ‘The reason many people end up in interim work is that they get a taste for it,’ says Istead. ‘They realise they have a useful skill set and then find they enjoy the projects. As you build a reputation and experience, you are more likely to be employed. The hardest part is hanging in there in the early days.’
