I have been working as a software quality assurance engineer for 4 years. Now from my current company, I have lost my job for redundancy. The company wants to outsource their works to Holland and eliminate the whole team.Now how would i proceed for my next job? will it be a good impression that i have lost my job. Will i tell them that i was actually on a fixed term contract? but even if i do that how will i give reference to my new company. My company does not want to tell anyone that it was a contract role. what can i do now? I already had an interview and I told them the truth. At the begining of the interview, the guy was really interested in me for the role. But when i told him my current situation, he seemed different. He said he will let me know later on. Its a critical situation for me. After 4 years of experience, do i need to start from the scratch? its very upsetting. I am not worried about my qualification but just worried about the reference as it matters. I also have finished my MSc from Queen Mary, University of London in computer Science. I am very depressed now. Is there anyone who can give me good suggestions?!

You don't have to put them as a previous employer on your resume, but I still highly recommend it. Having experience while job searching is huge. Having anything less than 1-2 is pretty bad. Most employers will barely hire you even if you DO have 1-2 years, so having more is a huge advantage. If a prospective employer asks you why you left your last job, just tell them that the company cut your entire department for outsourcing. Don't mention that you were cut specifically or anything like that as then they will wonder if there was a reason why. Remember, you are trying to sell yourself in interviews. Focus on your strengths, not on your weaknesses. Focus on your experience with that company and how it would benefit the next company. Focus on what you can bring to the table.
