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.

Yesterday morning I visited the local print/copy shop to get a hard copy of my c.v. before going on to the station and on to my interview.

I glanced at the document and found a little typo.

In one sentence I had used the phrase “… internal, client- and supplier stakeholders …”

Damn: “client” had a hyphen, the other members of the list didn’t.

No big deal, probably no-one but I would spot the inconsistency but still annoying.

Actually a bit more annoying. This phrase was in the section summarising my communication skills.

Damn and a side helping of bugger.

Oh and I think "side helping" needs a hyphen as well.

I better read that Style Guide soon.
