A diary based on my latest attempts to get a job; this time in Munich. I'm an engineering graduate (and chartered engineer) with more than 10 years' experience in IT. Over five of these years have been spent in team leading and project management roles both in the UK and abroad.

A balanced opinion

Agincourt, Trafalgar, Waterloo and now ... Singapore.

It's not that we won the bid to host the 2012 Olympic Games. It's that we beat the French to win the bid.

To put it another way, it's not the winning that counts, it's the taking part and beating the French that matters.

On the one hand hosting the Olympics will present a massive strain on a crumbling infrastructure, especially considering our unimpressive track record on major programmes.

On the other hand it may one day mean a project management job for me.
