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.

Shifted weekend

As mentioned, job hunting seems pointless on Fridays. Much better to wait until Monday to contact recruiters. They're more likely, then, to remember me. (Please feel free to read between the lines here).

But I do look at sites on Sunday afternoon. Some recruiters do post jobs over the weekend.

So, I have a slightly shifted weekend: Friday after-noon to Sunday afternoon.

Today, there was only one suitable job. I drafted an application but won't send it until tomorrow morning. Why? Because I've had a couple of glasses of wine - a big deal for me these days - so I'd like to check the application once more, when the alcohol has totally left my body.
