well over the weekend i sent another 3 applications and did one for DH as well.
Challenge at the moment is we're not physically there and I dont know if that puts some people off taking application further. I remember when I used to recruit and I preferred to call in people to interview who were in the area, because at least then you know there are committed in the area.
Im pretty sure I have to declare it, and even if I legally didnt have to, I still would. I just consider it the right thing to do...Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030
