I was made redundant on the 19th June and have applied for close to 40 jobs - (my previous employment has been very sector specific, and that sector is in free fall at the mo. so finding the right job has been difficult) - some of which have been good enough to reply and others not, have been to several interviews and am on a second interview tomorrow for a job which looks favourable, fingers crossed.
Have had to kick start my loan protection plan just recently, however the down side to that is I have had to register with the job centre, what a bunch of jobs-worth tossers, I've employed pot washers that have bigger IQ's, the inane questioning one has to go through - steps down!
Good luck though, register with a few GOOD agencies and you should be ok
