Look, sorry to all you who have checked this blog throughout the day, hoping for a report on my job hunting activities, maybe even a “job of the day” posting.
But I didn’t look today.
The reason?
It’s a good one.
In fact, it’s the best.
I couldn’t be arsed.
I know I should be all cynical and accept that until you’ve got the contract signed, you haven’t got the job. And even then it can be canned at any moment.
Nevertheless today I didn’t look. Okay, I trawled through Monster but that doesn’t really count. I seldom see suitable jobs in Monster and it doesn’t take long to trawl anyway.
Instead I tidied some stuff up and got a few, very few things together which I’d need in Munich.
I also looked on the web for advice about German tax and residency issues.
Oh dear.
There’s no way I can work out all the nuances. According to Wikipedia 65% of legal writings about tax in the world are about German tax.
And I also don’t have enough details to make any decisions just yet.
In fact, I definitely need professional guidance on this but fortunately already have a couple of contacts.
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.

Pleased...
.. to see that careful choice of post-interview drinking partners is an effective way of improving bite effectiveness.
... to see the apostrophe business sorted. It was a loose end that needed sorting!
