There are two advantages to working as an interim in an open plan office.
1. You can openly look for jobs as it's understood you won't be there for long.
2. You can refuse to mention your salary, or what you're looking for, on the phone. Others would hear and the resulting riot would be rather unpleasant.
So, when I'm asked, I explain that I'm in an open office so can't say. The recruiter then suggests a figure.
At the moment they've either hit the mark or been higher - in which I say, "yeah, that's about right".
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.
