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.

Phoning

As I've said before it's very important to telephone everyone you've emailed.

Dutifully (I often take my own advice) I phoned a couple of agencies.

They weren't impressed that I called. They really wanted to be left alone to wade through the c.v.s sent.

Well, even a c.v. like mine might be diminished by being just one of a hundred or so similar applications. So, phoning is no bad thing. Helps you stand out.

Oh well. Maybe I should have given them a bit longer (I phoned less than an hour after sending my email - but they did indicate the jobs needed to be filled urgently).

Anyway, they should be phoning me!
