Coping With Redundancy When Everything Else Falls Apart Too — with Dan Roberts7 Jul51 min

<p>There&#39;s a particular kind of unlucky where one thing goes wrong and you can just about laugh about it. Then there&#39;s Dan Roberts&#39;s 2025, where the wrong things queued up to take turns; right up until the week he finally caught a break and then redundancy turned up two days later like it had been waiting for an invite.</p><p><br></p><p>This episode is about what happens when the job search isn&#39;t the only thing falling apart. Dan talks through the actual mechanics of getting through a year like that, including how he decided which job applications were worth caring about and which weren&#39;t, why the people around him mattered more than any spreadsheet ever could and what he&#39;d say to someone reading this on day one of their own equivalent mess.</p><p><br></p><p>Part practical, part perspective, part pep-talk without the cringe.</p><p><br></p><p>Dan&#39;s also shared this story in more detail over on the Invisible Queue - <a href="http://www.theinvisiblequeue.co.uk">www.theinvisiblequeue.co.uk</a> - if you want to sit with it a bit longer or talk it through with people in the same boat. </p><p><br></p><p>And if you want to get in touch with the show directly, that&#39;s <a href="http://www.thenowwhat.co.uk">www.thenowwhat.co.uk</a></p><p></p>
