    It really depends how long you have worked for the company, how many holidays you have already taken etc.

    Keep busy to take your mind off things if you can.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
  • I worked for them 3month and NO holidays.
    I am really shocked by this. This was my live-time opportunity.

    You need to get a letter from them giving the reason for redundancy, if you haven't already got this. This will tell the JSA people why you have left the company and give them less reason to ask awkward questions. You also need your P45, which is a tax for that you will have to give to the JSA people when you sign on.

    Might it also be possible for you to get a 'to whom it may concern' type of reference? This might help with your future job search, but I know that some employers refuse to give these out.

    I hope you get sorted out & good luck in finding a new job.
