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.

Monthly round up

Here's my summary for my first month without work ...

No. of applications: 66

No. of bites: 20

No. of interviews: 3

No. of offers: 1 - although I was misled about the rate which turned out to be unacceptable.

This is encouraging. The ratio of bites to applications (BA) is just over 1:3. Much, much better than a BA of 1:10 which use to be the norm.

The ratio of interviews to bites (IB) is 3:20, which is again better than the usual IB of 1:10.

And the ratio of offers to interviews (OI) is 1:3. I don't data for the OI ratio in the past but I'm sure it's much better.

Mind you, I still don't have a job yet.
