14: LET’S TALK REDUNDANCY: THE 5 STAGES OF JOB LOSS WITH REBECCA DANIEL

When the UK faced its first lockdown in March young people were the most likely to lose their job, with the youth unemployment rate rising to 13.1%.

In this episode, the second of our ‘Let’s Talk: Redundancy’ interview series, we sat down to talk with 25-year-old Marine Biologist, Rebecca Daniel. 

Rebecca was part of this young cohort hit hard by the pandemic and was made redundant early on in her professional journey.

After curling up to watch Netflix in bed and toasting to her redundancy with prosecco, Rebecca set out her next steps…

Join us as we talk through Rebecca’s journey, covering:

• • • The importance of giving yourself time.
    • Being as pragmatic as possible.
    • Asking for help from others (Support Circles will help you with this).
    • Considering your offers, and making sure roles are the right fit for you.
