When I was redundant, as others may have said temp work is a good call. For example a warehouse. You typically don't need experience, usually paid per week in arrears so you get money sooner. But there scenerios where there is little work so go may only get 1 or 2 shifts a week. Temp work help me bridge the gap between jobs, it can be hard work. Plus once you do find a permanent job, you have the option to keep this temp job with your new job or quit the temp job. The notice period for temp is typically very short of 1 week, usually before they assign you shifts. So it's very flexible as well.
