    I started a new admin role about six months ago in London, but it quickly turned into a sales position, which wasn't what I signed up for. I wanted to gain office experience after university, but the internal drama and high turnover in my department have made it really tough. Recently, I've been on unpaid leave for a marketing internship while still working my Saturday shifts. Today, I had a meeting with my manager who mentioned that there were rumors about me wanting to quit. I felt blindsided and anxious during the conversation, especially since they hinted at possibly changing my role to focus more on marketing. Now I'm left wondering if I should proactively resign or wait to see if they dismiss me. I'm concerned about how this situation might affect my CV and what my rights are as I navigate this stressful environment.

    I recently started applying for a new administrative role and encountered a situation regarding references. I'm 22 and currently based in the UK. The application states that if I include my current employer as a reference, they won't be contacted until after an offer is made. However, I'm concerned about my previous jobs in hospitality affecting my chances. I'm worried that if they contact my current employer after an offer is given, it could lead to complications or even have my offer rescinded. I'm considering using my previous employer from my hospitality job and a university lecturer as my references instead. I'm seeking advice on whether this would be suitable for the role I'm applying for, especially since this is my first time dealing with references.
