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.

Busy

When I talk to people and they say they're busy I remind them that "busy is good".

Although you can be busy without being in employment which isn't good.

Like today.

Today, I managed to apply for 14 jobs.

14.

Fourteen.

!

And I started the day fearing there would be a dearth of jobs, like yesterday and Monday.

It seems I wasn't the only one being busy.

Quite a few agencies I called today said they were inundated with applications. Whilst I was talking to one agent about a job she received three more applications for it.

I phoned every agency to whom I applied today, and received, in total, three bites.
