    Is this an interview or an application?

    Were these temporary jobs and you were placed in them by an agency?
    Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear it in 2026.

    I normally just write:
    Agency name, time from / to
    Various temporary positions including .....
    * Administration
    * Diary management
    (or whatever the important bits were)

    In your case it will be: 
    Various temporary warehouse positions including DHL, K.
    * Important part 1
    * Important part 2
    (4 bits will be enough)

    No need to over complicate it as you seem to be panicking with all forms. Read the forms, have a think about the questions, put pen to paper and rearrange what you write, then start filling in the form. Read it carefully before submitting it.

    So explain why so many jobs in such a short time.
    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!

    I am stuck on another online interview question saying "Do you have any commitments which would prevent you from working any of the 7 days?"

    I currently need to start my driving lessons which will be once a week.
