Being made redundant, what should I do

I was told 2 weeks ago that my job role is being made redundant, the company that I work for is now under new ownership who are making cuts across the entire business.

As of last week I am in the 30 day consultation stage of my redundancy, the company has said they are looking for alternative employment for me in within another department in order to avoid redundancy completely but I'm not so hopeful. And I also have doubts about staying in the business if the ownership is keen on making cuts across the entire business.

There are others in my team who are at risk but for them they are just reducing the numbers, it's different for me as they're looking to completely get rid of my job role which means I'm not even eligible for voluntary redundancy.

My background is that I am a computer Science Graduate and have been working at this company for 5 years as a business analyst/administrator. I also have experience in Web development and I'm looking to sharpen my coding skills and learn new skills such as python programming.

I have been applying for other jobs since I've been told of my redundancy but haven't had any responses so far.

I'm really anxious as I don't know what to do next, I was considering freelancing but wouldn't know where to start! But at the same time I would like to immediately have an income after redundancy due to bills etc. I'm really anxious about my situation, what can I do?

First of all, listen carefully to all the advice they offer. Understanding your options is very important, so join everything they offer and listen carefully.

Usually the best thing to do in these circumstances is accept any alternate role they offer you. You will have a set amount of time 3-6 weeks, to decide if the new role is for you. If not, you can still accept the redundancy package, but in the meantime you will have earned yourself more pay and had more time to job hunt.
