Made Redundant, 6mth later Job available.

If you were good at your job - go ahead and reapply! Depending on what you did - you would save them alot of training, albeit that some procedures may have changed in your absence, but you may have alot of product knowledge that is useful to them - so go ahead and give it a shot anyway!

Apply for the job.

If you don't get it, pursue the company through their recruitment complaints procedure.

Putting aside the original post (and, for the record, there is no obligation on any employer to offer your post back to you after 6 minutes, let alone six months), I think we have to be brutally frank here and look at what happens in the real world.

There are two types of redundancy. There is the redundancy where a company has failed and EVERYONE goes. And there is the redundancy where a company needs to cut costs and lose people selectively.

In the latter case, most companies i speak to tell me they took the opportunity to get rid of people which they want to leave and which - in normal times - is almost impossible to get rid of.

that was news to me I too was under the impression that it was illegal to fill a position after redundancy within a set period of time, before I was made redundant we had a whole HR meeting surrounding changes to job titles, to circumvent some similar legality?

When I applied for voluntary redundancy, my paperwork says I can't work for them/re-apply for 12 months, nothing about any other company I can't work for, except subsidaries of the same company. I wouldn't accept that surely that's not legal, preventing you from entering the work market again for 30 days??

If the position's available I would contact them and see where details lie re reapplying.
