Oddly I have a few former colleagues and friends who have been applying like mad for jobs from weeks to months now with hardly any response.
In the last week four people have landed what sound like really suitable and fairly paid positions.
Only a couple left still looking.

Not sure why I am typing this, guess it is just to say hang in there?

The atmos 'out there' has really changed imo. Getting made redundant in The Panic in Nov and Dec then having nothing to apply for during the naturally deadest time of the year over Xmas and Jan was a real killer. Seems to have perked up a bit now, what with Spring and life getting back to 'normal' so it's easier to be positive, if nothing else!

I still haven't got a perm job though :hmm::rolleyes:
 
the prospect of getting made redundant has stressed me out so much I've been signed off for the week :(

So THAT'S going to help :( :(

got my second consultation - the one where they do the selection criteria scoring - next wednesday. But i'm fucked, i think - 50% of the marks are on skills and performance, the other 50% on attendance / punctuality etc, which seems really fucking disproportionate. And although I KNOW i'm better at my job than at least one of the other candidates for redundancy, they're never sick, never late etc etc etc, and the way the marks are awarded, I don't think I can beat her.

But fuck it - if i'm fighting this hard and getting so ill over a job I can't stand, maybe I should just fall on my fucking sword and take the redundancy :(
 
I know this sounds stupid and obvious but have you tried putting the present to the side and looking forward to what you will do next if you are made redundant? Sometimes get stuck worrying and worrying about what if, but if you actually say to yourself "ok, i'm out of my job, what am I doing now" and start working at that then you can put things into perspective a little better.
 
Given that you doubt you will get it I would just mentally write it off but go through the consultation process.
That way if you don't get through you were kind of expecting it and still end up with the redundancy that you were considering.
Few people want to be made redundant right now but if you hate the company, will get a reasonable pay off then can you see a win/win here?

Maybe I mis-read Jefe's previous posts but I thought the chances of a reasonable pay off were also in the balance...hence the uber stress....go through a stressful process stay in job you dislike, go through process get made redundant with bugger all pay off for years of service and having to job hunt.
 
Just in, if anyone's interested:

Reiss operates a two floor store on Bond Street in London. The store sells both menswear and womenswear.

The point? Well, in these current economic times, every penny counts and I don’t want to spend money on recruitment fees or adverts, however I do have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Supervisor or existing Assistant Manager to join the Reiss Bond Street as Assistant Store Manager.

Do you know anyone through your network of friends? If so, we would love to hear from them and they should email me at jobs@reiss.co.uk!

This is in my inbox almost everyday. I think it's because it's not terribly clear on the job description. Is it IT support or customer service? 'Working knowledge'? What, of fixing them or using them? Anyway - might be of interest to someone
