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.

Daft requirement of the day

"For immediate consideration, please send a text (ASCII) or HTML version of your resume to ..."

I've never been asked to send a c.v. in this format before. I'm not sure I'd really want to. It looks great as it is, in either RTF or PDF format.

I know what they would do with it - read it into a database and loose all my lovely formatting.

I wasn't going to apply anyway.
