The position was made redundant - what do I say?

Devon Lovell

Hi all,

My position was recently made redundant due to cost-cutting and restructuring. I was advised by a friend, to not say that the position was made redundant if asked why I was no longer at the company, rather mention it was personal reasons.

This does not sit well, as I am not embarrassed about the redundancy. It's also dishonest, not a great way to start a relationship.

Do you think that by saying the position was made redundant, I will be jeopardising my chances of a job offer?

Thanks

  • Honesty is the best policy. Even if for the simple reason that once you lie will have to lie again when your next prospective employer asks why you left.

    And of course if or when they provide you with a reference you can't expect them to give you a dishonest reference, can you?

    Cheer up and carry on!!
