Starting from scratch after being made redundant

Rachel

Hi Everyone

At the beginning of September I, and everyone else in the business, was made redundant due to the company going into administration. The problem I have is I don't feel like I've got enough experience to apply for any HR jobs anywhere else. I have my CIPD Level 3 and was labelled as HR at the company but it was an SME with only 13 employees so my job was mostly other admin tasks and general employee HR when needed, along with creating/updating policies and procedures. Even though I was there for 5 and a half years I don't feel like it gave me enough experience to actually get a foot in the door in HR anywhere else. I just wondered if anyone had any advice for basically starting from scratch?

Thanks

  • I'm sorry to hear this, I've personally & professionally been involved in redundancies, it's a tough process all round. Please remember that you are not being made redundant, your role is. You still have your skills and experience.

    Working in an SME with 13 employees, I imagine having never worked in that small an environment, you were doing a lot of plate spinning and when an ER issue came up, you may have more of an insight into the personalities than I do working with 150 employees.
