No need to provide a P45 to your new employer.

The new employer can just get the new employee to fill out a form from HMRC: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/paye-starter-checklist.

That's true and it was my initial though but I didn't know whether it will have the leaving date or not.

however I think there are two many ways to find out about this and I naively thought it was ok not to mention it.

I'll try to rectify this by telling them and hope it goes well as I really like the job. Finger crossed.

How long was the commute?

I think you should come up with a very valid reason why the commute didn't allow you to fulfill responsibilities at home or hindered vital timely access to work.

Because the combination of quitting solely for the commute, without anything else lined up for months, and then not giving your previous employer as a reference is going to give the impression that you're flakey.

I've always worked in IT and I'd be giving you the side-eye. On paper, this isn't someone I'd want beside me in a crisis.
You need to counteract this with your strong reasons.

Quizzical I agree with that, I can see how this will be looking bad but let me be honest with you, I have not applied for many jobs because I only wanted the best job
In the past few months I applied for 3 companies only because I found them to be the best one.

For this company that I got the offer from, they thought they sent me an online test already but I never got one and only after a month I left the job they contacted me explaining that they though I received their only test and that they were waiting for me to submit it.

When they realised I didn't receive anything they sent me another. I completed that at the end of december
a week after I had another technical interview by phone, when I passed that
a week after I had another face to face technical interview
Only after that I got the offer.

Aside that company, I applied for another company, which never replied
and another one, which I'm having a telephone interview next week.

As I said, this was the one I wanna go for.

Speaking of the commute, it would take me 1 hour on a good day(which means pretty much never), the commute was on the m62 and there were accidents a couple of times a week that would clog the motorway even further.

I was regularly spending 3 hours a day(both ways) just in commute doing 76 miles both ways.

Something I thought I could cope with but couldn't

That's very strange, I'd never give a side-eye to someone for something like this, call me biased or whatever from in the engineering practice we always judge a person by their technical skills rather how and why they left their previous job and I can tell you this because a came across colleagues who took sabbatical breaks, left a job after 4 months, got redundant and never judged them for that. the judgement started only when they couldn't do their work.

I'm sorry but have you even read all the posts? or are you here just to boost your ego?

I have already said that I'm aware of being wrong but I was being asked why I think I did that and I explained my reasons.

if you don't have anything helpful to stay and here to waste time, don't post anything.

If you don't like the advice on the forum, your are free not to post on it. If you choose to post then the advice you get is what you get.

I'd invite you to look at this. You lied about your being still in employment when you aren't. You didn't use your last employer as a reference. What exactly do you think that looks like? It looks like you got sacked for something you are hiding!!! Your "reasons" won't interest the new employer. The lies will.

How does pointing that out to you constitute not being helpful? You'd prefer "well I can't possibly see any reason at all why the new employer would have any problem with you lying to them. I'd suggest that you carry on digging holes for yourself because they'll never notice"?!!

Make excuse after excuse and you'll be staying out of work. Your only chance, and it is a very slim one at this stage, is to tell the truth.

Again, read the posts rather than making stupid comments as it clearly shows you didn't.

I did. lying by omission is still a lie. You knew exactly what you were doing and you did it deliberately - you've said so! I thought you had too many posts to be a troll, but clearly I was incorrect about that.

No, you didn't read them, you're here just to waste people time. If you read the posts, you wouldn't be leaving stupid commends.

Oh the irony! What do you think the employer is doing in spending time interviewing and screening a liar?

A liar is still better than someone who clearly shows, being incapable of executing any job, that be as small as reading posts.

LOL, sangie595 is one of the preeminent employment experts on this forum and I suspect that they never post just to waste peoples time.

Any chance of this in English?
