Made redundant? Start with the next useful step

Made redundant? We can help you reset your job search.

Redundancy can leave you with a long list of things to sort out at once. TruRole focuses on the job-search side: capturing your recent evidence, reviewing your CV, finding current roles, comparing your experience with vacancies and preparing stronger applications without inventing anything.

TruRole provides job-search tools, not legal, benefits or financial advice. Employment rights and redundancy entitlements depend on your circumstances.

A practical reset

Five useful steps after redundancy

1

Get the practical details in one place

Keep your redundancy letter, notice information, final-pay details and any employer documents together. For employment-rights questions, use official guidance or qualified advice rather than relying on a job-search platform.

2

Capture your evidence while it is fresh

Write down projects, responsibilities, systems, stakeholders, results and measurable achievements from your recent role. This gives you stronger material for your CV and interviews later.

3

Review the CV you have now

Check whether your CV explains what you actually did, whether important evidence is buried, and whether old or irrelevant content is taking up space.

4

Choose the next role before rewriting everything

Search for roles that fit your experience, location and working preferences. Then tailor your CV to a real vacancy instead of producing one generic CV for every application.

5

Track the search and keep momentum

Save useful searches, organise applications and review what is getting responses. A job search is easier to manage when the next action is visible.

Your recent role still contains useful evidence.

Redundancy ends a role, not the value of what you learned or delivered there. Capture the evidence while you still remember the detail: projects, tools, responsibilities, people you worked with, problems you solved and results you can support. That evidence can feed your CV, job matching, cover letters and interview preparation.

Keep claims factual and supportable
Use specific examples where you genuinely have them
Tailor to each vacancy instead of hiding gaps
Do not let an optimiser invent achievements to make the CV look stronger
