[Simondi]

I took voluntary redundancy back in 2016.

I was unemployed for around three to four months and found it quite a harrowing experience ( I had worked for RBS for 26 years). I applied for many jobs but heard nothing from most of them. I was given an opportunity with my current employer and all is now good.

Looking back I'm glad I took the opportunity as I'm doing a job I'm passionate about and earning significantly more as well
