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.

JC's law of recruitment

You heard it here first:

"The larger the company, the pfaffier the recruitment process".

Over a week ago I was contacted, with enthusiasm, by an agency about a couple of roles with a very large company. Since then the agency has heard nothing.

For a very large company, who interviewed me in Prague, it took six months before I got a half-response from them.

The company in Duesseldorf is still dragging their feet. I actually applied for the job last year but re-submitted the application when the job was re-advertised a few months ago.
