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.

Search

This morning I saw a job which asked for "deployment" experience.

I applied for a similar sounding job a few weeks ago. So I used Microsoft's desktop search tool to find all occurrences of "deployment" on my PC. It was very quick.

I found an email I'd sent to another agency with that word. It's contents, including the attached c.v. matched this new agency's requirements.

So I re-addressed the email and sent it off to this agency.

Microsoft's desktop search works fine. I'm not even going to try out Google's equivalent: I don't need the adverts and the invasion of privacy.
