That very much majorly sucks. I have only been made redundant once and that was because it was a fixed term contract. It had been extended, but it had to end eventually. This gave me time to start looking around for another job.

I have also been unemployed, once for six months, and again for 15 months. It does sort of get to you after a while. Luckily I'm now in a job I enjoy, even if the money isn't quite what I would like.

Bottom line, that agency sucks. Don't be afraid to tell them so, either.

Good luck job hunting!
