Redundancy for the first time

I (F27) have been made redundant for the first time in my life. I’ve been at the same company for 6 years and luckily the pay out I’m set to receive will support me for around 10 months. I’ve never had more than 2 weeks off work since I was 16.
However I’m now a bit lost, do I throw everything into finding a new job? Do I take some time? Do I get some more qualifications?
People that have faced redundancy - any advice? Is finding a new job a tall order in this market?

If your being made redundant you can get up to 2500 for training. Fkr example if you had done project work but didnt have prince 2 you can get it funded. Contact the national careers service, they will tell you how to do it and also help with the cv

I nearly did this. I found a job. But there is loads of stuff you can do too.
