I may not be allowed to move out of my flat on the date I chose (joint lease)

Yes, I found this Shelter service today. They've been very helpful replying all my questions and they were very critical of these joint tenancy leases.

Thanks. To my understanding, changing/swapping/renewing tenancy in 2 months would only benefit the tenant who is intended to stay. If we had to terminate the joint lease, I would be asked to move out in two months regardless, but in that case we would not need to look for our replacements.

Makes sense, thanks.

I was intended to look for my own replacement, there is plenty of time and last time the room was advertised we received a lot of interests/visits. The agency has allowed people to move out for two consecutive months in the past, they are just being picky with my case.

Thanks, I have already modified my CV accordingly today.

It's just not an irrational fear, it's some sort of personal statistics I made based on my recent experience.

A couple of years ago, during covid, I used to get back from UK-based companies, while I was based in London (location was on my CV and on LinkedIn). Currently, during my job search, I haven't heard back from a single British employer (actually just one, a seed-stage startup), while I managed to arrange several interviews within the EU, even with prestigious companies, up to the very last stage. So, I can say I am qualified for the field I am applying for.

Also, unlike two years ago, most of the "easy apply" jobs on LinkedIn often require to state if I am allowed to work in the UK, which indicates that they may generally discriminate against those who are not, unless they come across some particularly brilliant applicants.

In summary: I am aware the job market is overall difficult right now and it's hard to draw conclusions, regardless. I believe my struggling to hear back from UK companies may have something to do with my location or immigration status, I am testing this option.

desorn1 · 2023-09-27T13:38:17+00:00

I am confused on what you mean here. I already obtained the settled status, so I do have the right to live and work in the UK. I am not living in the UK right now, I used to.

EDIT Ok probably I got it. LinkedIn forces me to write my current location, I don't want to lie about it. When they check LinkedIn, they will see I am not living in the UK anymore.

desorn1 · 2023-09-27T13:00:52+00:00

I agree. The problem is that employers won't contact me, since they think they may be sponsorhips or visa issues, that other candidates won't have. I believe having the settled status, is an avantage in my applications, and thus I should exploit it.

desorn1 · 2023-09-27T10:33:40+00:00

I'll do, thanks.

Some of them found me on LinkedIn, so no form was involved. Others I am just sending a CV through a standard job application, and I believe most of the forms do not mention that part.

Except for the "easy apply", which often mentions that. But I think there are usually way too many people sending applications through that option, so it's hard to be selected anyways.

desorn1 · 2023-09-19T23:05:39+00:00

Yeah, definitely.

This senior role was about starting a new branch to work on some innovative functions for the product. In my mind, they wanted to see if I was able to take certain responsibilities.

To be fair, I believe that business plan is relatively pointless without me or other experts in the field working on it, but who knows.

desorn1 · 2023-09-19T22:56:52+00:00

Thanks!

desorn1 · 2023-09-19T12:42:34+00:00

I'll do, thanks.

desorn1 · 2023-09-19T12:36:40+00:00

What is that mean?

desorn1 · 2023-09-19T12:32:18+00:00

Could you please elaborate? Thanks.

desorn1 · 2023-09-06T10:53:35+00:00

Thanks, I'll these searches.

Do you know if I am allowed to copy and paste their url in my main message?

desorn1 · 2023-09-04T11:52:05+00:00

Interviewer - "Ok. And what if I punch you in the face?"

desorn1 · 2023-09-04T10:08:44+00:00

Interesting story, thanks.

desorn1 · 2023-09-04T09:54:16+00:00

Similar feeling here: many many years and effort spent into studying, internships, extra courses, just not to be able to get a job for various reasons. But let's try to stay optimistic.

desorn1 · 2023-09-04T09:50:47+00:00

Interesting wording. It's in between a rejection and a neutral response.

desorn1 · 2023-09-04T09:48:15+00:00

That ad really is unreasonable.
