I’ve applied for quite a few jobs recently and have been getting plenty of interviews and positive responses. The problem is that every interview asks why I left my previous job. When I’m honest and explain that I was dismissed for gross misconduct, I don’t seem to hear back afterwards. It feels like if that hadn’t happened, I would have had a good chance of receiving offers. Has anyone else been in a similar situation, and how did you move forward?

Hi everyone,
I’m a first-time buyer in England and I’m starting to get a bit frustrated with the conveyancing process, so I wanted to ask if this is normal.
Here’s where I’m at:
Mortgage has been approved.
All requested documents, ID, payslips and paperwork have been provided.
I’ve signed everything my solicitor has asked me to sign.
Searches have now come back.
My solicitor says they’re raising enquiries with the seller’s solicitor.
The confusing part is that I was told about enquiries around a month ago, and when I phoned again this week, they said the searches had arrived and they’re raising enquiries. I’m not sure if these are new enquiries from the searches or the same ones they mentioned before.
The purchase started towards the end of May, and I’m hoping to complete by mid-July if possible.
A few questions:
Is it normal to still be at the enquiries stage after this amount of time?
How long did your enquiries take to be answered?
Should I keep phoning my solicitor every few days for updates, or is it better to leave them to it?
Once enquiries are dealt with, how quickly did you move to exchange and completion?
I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences because I’m finding the waiting harder than I expected.
Thanks!

I’ve had my mortgage offer approved, signed all the paperwork, submitted all the documents, and my solicitor is now dealing with the legal side.
From the point of getting the mortgage offer until completion and collecting the keys, do mortgage lenders normally ask for updated payslips, bank statements or any other documents again?
Just wondering what everyone else’s experience was. Did your lender ask for anything else after the offer was issued, or was it plain sailing until completion?

My mortgage offer has been approved, I’ve submitted all the documents, signed everything, and my searches are complete.
My solicitor is now raising the initial enquiries and has told me the process is usually around 12–16 weeks from when they received the draft contract pack, although it could be quicker or take longer.
Is this a normal timeline? How long did your enquiries take, and when did you complete? I honestly hate this waiting process!

I’m 23 and have some customer service/sales experience, and I’m trying to find a decent work-from-home job. I’ve been applying through LinkedIn, Indeed and company websites but haven’t had much luck.
Does anyone have any tips or tricks that actually helped you land a remote customer service, sales, or admin role?
Where are the best places to apply?
Are there any companies that regularly hire remote staff?
Is it better to apply directly through company websites?
Any CV or interview tips that made a difference?
I’d really appreciate hearing what’s worked for you. Thanks in advance!
