Probably a good start

Today I managed to apply for one job. I phoned them up later and they carefully explained why I was in no way suitable.

However I also phoned the agency to whom I sent my c.v. on Friday. They agreed to send my details to their client. A bite.

Also, I had my telephone interview for the job in Munich. It sounds like it went really well, despite me having quite a bad cough/cold. Hopefully they'll progress me to the next step. An on-site interview.

I was a bit surprised that it did go so well. They're looking for someone to project manage developers. This is not something I've done before but it seems I demonstrated sufficient general technical experience as well as transferable skills. Plus I have actually worked with developers before.

I've been thinking about the job the whole weekend and became quite enthusiastic. There may have been that visualisation thing: you start imagining the job in more and more detail and that somehow comes across. Of course, it means greater disappointment if I don't get it, especially if I don't even get to a face-to-face interview.

I guess you can either be enthusiastic or stoical.
