I had a very excellent recruitment agency tell me that I've been temping for too long! (I'm a medical secretary). I now want to move on from this onto something more permanent now. I've loved temping, but it sounds like my temping is a 'turn off' to future employers. How do I word 13 years on a CV?

Question : Vendor Gifted Deposit Transfer Figure?
Question Details: If buying a property for £100,000 -to include a 10% vendor gifted deposit (so borrowing 90,000), what is the transfer figure for exchange of contracts?

My solicitor says 100,000 for tax and land registry purposes

Sellers solicitors says it has to be the net figure... I understand this to be incorrect as the property is valued at 100k with the mortgage lender, and they are lending 90% loan to value, so it will go through as being sold for 100k with land registry..

the sellers solicitors seems to think this is wrong..not sure if they are just suspecting mortgage fraud due to the size of "deposit"... one of her points being her clients liability for capital gains...well to my knowledge you pay capital gains on profit, not on gross income, the 10% seller gifted deposit can be put down as an expense against the figure of 100,000

Can anyone shed any light on the matter please?

I gave my notice of resignation at my current employment. I put a specified end date, but being so disgruntled about my work, I do not want to come in anymore and just quit now. I was already offered a job that I really want, and specified my new start date with the new company (of course I accepted the job). So I already have the new job set in place. Can I quit my current employment (even though I specified a date to end)? It is an "at will" employment. So I can quit anytime for any reason. I need help please. I'm so dissatisfied with my current job that its severely worrying me, causing distress, and affecting my day to day habits (maybe its because I'm getting projects that was handed down to me by people who quit too and havent kept track of their project references and files!)

help please!

I've always wondered if people who sell stuff on eBay create another ID/login, so when other buyers bid on their stuff, the seller can go into their other ID/login and then bid on themselves just to raise the price.

I just passed my exam and Im really concerned that I might not get my license because I took something from a store without paying for it. Of course I would never do that again, and I was crazy then (no excuses though) but they didn't call the police. Thats the only thing Ive ever gotten in trouble with. Besides not having good credit. Well does anyone know?

I'm a recent Cal grad and have been tutoring K-12 for the last ten years. I've spent considerable time working with private companies and have been thinking of setting up my own private tutoring business. What are the steps necessary for securing a business name, and setting up the business in general?

I wouldnt want to have a tutoring center per se, but I'd conduct most of my services at their homes, or perhaps in my private home-office.
