“What have you been doing since redundancy?” is one of many questions job seekers have been faced with as they transition from industries that are struggling to new ones. You’ve said to me that you are not sure of the right way to tackle this question, so I wanted to discuss why we ask it and how to answer it, in more detail. I know that question feels really loaded - But it isn’t. Nope, there is no hidden agenda with this question. It is a great question to get to know you.
