How to cope when you’re faced with redundancy

So here’s a subject that has affected me and sadly something that will affect a ton of us at some point – redundancy! (Urgh). These days it’s almost impossible to find a ‘job for life’, which means more and more of us will be faced with the dreaded ‘R’ word.
