Self employed sole trader to partnership VAT

Started a part time job 2 weeks ago
After being out of work for 6 weeks I excepted a permanent part time position through an agency in an office as an admin assistant.

What type of jobs would not require an interview or pay much attention to a CV?
I was looking over my CV again and it's so bare, and the majority of my qualifications were completed 5+ years ago. I was thinking about applying for basic/entry sales jobs, but would they all require interviews? I have sent off quite a few CVs in the past couple weeks to various companies, but nothing of positive note.…

Employer HR sabotaging my grievance
I raised a quite high profile grievance against my employer (which would shame them quite badly and cost them a hell of a lot in money to rectify as it actually affects many employees, not just myself). My union is appalled and on my side but my employer stubbornly rejects any wrongdoing. I had an initial hearing which was…

P45 & Omitting Position
Hi all, I am currently at a company which I really don't like, and wish to make a move. Without going into too much detail, I believe I will get a bad reference or something else that may put-off a potential employer who asks for references.

Is any job actually interesting or fun after a long time
I reckon that if they have to pay you to get you to do something, it can't be that great, otherwise they could use volunteers I can't think of one job or career that really is gripping enough to do just for the hell of it, even ones that seem initially interesting come across as boring after a long period of time
