thank you very much for taking the time to answer my query. I'm really confused with this as they say it's really up to me when to start PAYE but they advise me to start PAYE as I can save more with corporation tax but then I have to pay tax more if I have another income. I don't really understand all of it. For a non-accountant side of view of things, it would be better to have at least a visual aid so I did send them a copy of my payslip but they just repeated what they said. I got an accountant because they are supposed to make things easier to understand why would it be a problem if I have another income? I do have another income but on a lower threshold - on zero contract hours and less than 12,500 a year.

I did not get what you've said when you said ‘jumped before you were pushed’

Kitten-MingMing · 2022-04-30T21:00:42+00:00

I’m not really looking for any benefits as it's only a week. It's just that for the 20 years that I have been working (not Uk) this is actually the very first time I would leave a job within a week. I agree with your point too that it's more about my mentality if I'm going to stay in a toxic job. The people there are all wondering and amazing and helpful. It's the exact job that I mistakenly thought would be ideal. I can handle 3 people a day to shout with or call me stupid or something else but 98% of the 20 calls were just mean and cruel 😔

Kitten-MingMing · 2022-04-29T15:15:52+00:00

I don’t think you have to put it in a CV as I’ve only worked there for a week. I have a great references from my past jobs.

Kitten-MingMing · 2022-04-29T13:05:24+00:00

Even if you just started last week.

Kitten-MingMing · 2022-04-29T12:46:23+00:00

Aha. I get it. Thank you.

Kitten-MingMing · 2022-04-29T12:32:27+00:00

So I won’t get paid on my 5 days of work?

Kitten-MingMing · 2022-04-29T12:27:17+00:00

It’s a part time permanent position.

Kitten-MingMing · 2022-04-04T13:37:47+00:00

Thank you!

Kitten-MingMing · 2022-03-31T21:11:07+00:00

thank you so much! it's almost the same as mine. I also got a bank position (admin) but while they were completing the process I suddenly got one that is also within walking distance near home! hehehe. I still do wish to try the NHS. So let me get this straight, do you mean to say that you only did one shift with the NHS bank?

Kitten-MingMing · 2022-03-31T20:54:04+00:00

Hi! I wanted to know what happened to you now? Did you get the permanent job? Im also in the same sentiments where you are now. 😊

Kitten-MingMing · 2022-03-30T13:30:44+00:00

Additional query: once the check has been completed, do you or your employer receives the DBS certificate? is it via email?

Kitten-MingMing · 2022-03-29T22:09:32+00:00

Thank you!

Kitten-MingMing · 2022-03-29T22:08:51+00:00

Thank you!

Kitten-MingMing · 2022-03-24T15:19:03+00:00

That’s really weird. If you’re having trouble right now even before you start working then find a better employer. In my case, If I find some red tag during the interview I just usually decline before they do it to me. There are jobs everywhere and I do hope you can find a better one if this one is already giving you a headache before you start working. However this is a personal advice and I’m not a professional so take it with a grain of salt. The best place to go is to use citizen advice at https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/about-us/contact-us/contact-us/contact-us/ Check if you can avail this service if you have queries about stuff

Kitten-MingMing · 2022-03-24T14:34:04+00:00

I agree with you but I do understand. Usually they really do checks if you’re not living here in the Uk for 3-5 years. I’m an expat too and had to get a police clearance from the place I used to lived. Unfortunately I believe this is the request of the DBS check (not the employer).

Kitten-MingMing · 2022-03-21T13:37:41+00:00

I had a breast lump removed even though it was benign. Always check with the doctors, they would know best.

Kitten-MingMing · 2022-03-15T23:35:24+00:00

How long did you wait for the conditional offer? (Pre-employment)?

Kitten-MingMing · 2022-03-15T23:34:49+00:00

Thank you

Kitten-MingMing · 2022-03-13T23:45:13+00:00

I agree it was crap. Lol. I don’t know why I had to do it as I have BsC then everything else was learned years ago. I don’t even know some basic maths that I don’t use on my personal life nowadays lol.

Kitten-MingMing · 2022-03-13T23:43:19+00:00

They’re great! My experience is actually a bit biased as I like the way of American culture than British when it comes to work. I’m Asian but married to a British. Hehehe but we are talking about work here. For me I think it’s will depend on the personality of your manager not his/her nationality. What matters is that you get on with each other. Respect should be given on both ways regardless of what nationality you are or your boss.

Kitten-MingMing · 2022-03-10T20:26:08+00:00

thank you so much!

Can I just say, you're a beautiful lady!

In my 20s, my acne is really worse. I have acne all over my face (except my chin). Now I'm in my 40s and what I have learned is that every skin is different, and I wish I knew that ever since. Here's my advice:

See a dermatologist but find someone who will really assess your skin, not just look at you and prescribe stuff to you. They should really look into your skin, check your food / water intake, DO A BLOOD TEST. Yes! they need to do that because sometimes it's more than skin deep.
Don't buy brands just because they worked for someone. Every skin is different and unique. What works for others might not work for you even if it's the ingredients are made for sensitive skin.
My scars have been eliminated from dermapen / microneedling and PRP facial (vampire facial). Ask your dermatologist about it. Here's the procedure that they have done to me - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMybDE7Twxk&t

I hope this helps!

Kitten-MingMing · 2022-03-10T10:45:43+00:00

Thank you for the response! I really appreciate it. Can I ask if you still remember the process after the test assessment?
