Executive Assistant jobs UK

Hi. I want to know if anyone else is having issues with changing an EA position in UK? Been trying to get out my company for 2 years.

Changed my CV so many times - formatted to AI readable, wording, colors etc. Had professional CV writers, and they can't see anything wrong. I apply in any location I don't mind traveling to, also happy to relocate.

I'm being thrown out before even getting screening calls. I'm applying for any position I meet the criteria for. Even if it means a salary cut. I'm not just sticking to EA roles, also PA, admin, coordinator roles. And I'm just not making the cut. I don't know what it is that is wrong with me?

I’m moving for work in Manchester city, and need advice on two rental options. I don’t know the area.

1) Grant Court

  • Spacious corner flat, lots of windows and light
  • Ground floor and carpeted throughout except kitchen/bathroom
  • Not sure about transport links nearby
  • Feels like a nice space, but I’m unsure why it’s the only one still available

2) Furness Quays

  • Very small, limited natural light/ventilation
  • 15th floor, no carpets
  • Feels safer and closer to city centre + good transport

My requirements:

  • Under £1000, unfurnished
  • Good public transport to city centre during rush hour (don't drive)
  • Safe area (I’m a single woman of colour and have heard mixed things)
  • Close to groceries & social/friendly area would be a plus
  • No/low damp & mould (I’ve had issues)
  • Ideally no carpets (asthma, but ventilation helps)

If anyone lives in these areas or has experience with ground-floor flats, I’d really appreciate your thoughts.
