Your questions this month

1. I have just been made redundant and I do not know what to do next. This was only my first job so I don't know how to market myself or get my next opportunity, especially since I was only in the role for 6 months before the company went bust. How should I go about finding a new role?

- Stephanie, Hospitality, Reading

2. I have a colleague who seems insecure in herself but deflects it on other colleagues such as myself by taking credit for my work, talking in a condescending manner and taking subtle digs in an attempt to drag me down. How can I address this?

- Alisa, Tech, London

3. I’ve been working above my role for a few months now, but my team or manager don’t seem to recognise that. How do I prove to my manager that I am ready for a promotion?

- Clio, Marketing, London
