Jcole123:Keep checking and applying on CV library and indeed. Filter for remote roles, and try apply to customer service advisor roles in banks like Lloydโs, HSBC, Barclays. They usually have fully remote roles. You can also register with recruiting agencies like Blue Arrows and AMS solutions who recruit for some of this corporate Orgs. The key is to tailor your CV as much as possible and keep applying. 14 Likes 4 Shares |

You can try it with my referral link https://americanexpress.com/en-gb/referral/tEMItOhbvx?XL=MNANS Ensure that you have at least registered to be on the UK electoral roll which their voter's register because it would be part of the checks they do in the background to identify your location. I got mine within weeks of my coming to the UK. All the best. Akhat: 2 Likes 2 Shares |

What do you mean by tailor CV? I ask cos many may not understand this buzzword ๐ When people complain of getting rejected, what you keep hearing is tailor your CV without any explanation on how to go about it and making one look incompetent or not doing enough. Mean while the reason for rejection could be other than not having a tailored CV ๐คท๐ฟโโ๏ธ idee91: |

Lexusgs430: Hahaha. Some neighbors donโt want to be friends with you. My last neighbor was very friendly. Dude use to put both (mine n his trash out). Checks on us. Got our son Christmas gift the first Christmas in the house. We use same man to clear garden, so there was no ideal separation of the garden. My son plays with his cats and we play football. His grandchildren come visiting and they play with our son. He drinks his wine and tea at my corner of the garden. Long story short. He sold his house in December becos he was moving out as his kids are all gone and he canโt live alone. Gone to his moms house (sheโs alone too and very old). We have been teaching oga not to knock on Mr Aโs house cos Mr A doesnโt live there anymore. We now use our own side of the garden, preparing for the worst if our new neighbors are not friendly. House has been sold so itโs only a matter of time before they move in. If him no de friendly, then God don already give us enough time to adjust. 4 Likes |

bigtt76:There are lot's of ways depending on what works for you. You can get someone that wants to buy something expensive like phone, laptop, car deposit, tuition deposit etc, pay for them with your credit card and collect the money from them. If you have a trading account, fund your trading account with your credit card and transfer from your trading account to your bank account. You can check if other platforms like wise support credit card funding. 1 Like 1 Share |

hustla: The withdrawal of cash would be noted on your credit history and best to pay the cash withdrawal back, within your 0% interest rates allowance period........ Or it becomes a very expensive cash transfer..... A loan might be more suitable........ BORROWER'S BEWARE......๐ Lenders would view cash withdrawal, with a negative view ....... Would you rather have/prefer the ability to solve a temporary cash crunch period or the temporary slump to your credit score ....... YOUR DECISION.......๐๐ |

gratefulme40: This is fraud. There's no other thing to do other than report to the police. Again, go to the office and have a conversation with him. Record it and hold onto it, and then go to the police station from there if the findings still show that he lied. P.S. I know some people have said that it's not good to record someone without their consent, and perhaps that's true but I'm not a pastor or otherwise to determine what is good or bad when someone defrauds you of your hard-earned funds and puts your career on hold for 2 months. What I'm aware of (do your own research - not legal advice) is that it is legal and admissible as evidence to prove a case. 1 Like |
