Slowly getting back into the swing

Look, if I start regularly updating this blog, will you start regularly reading it?

Will you? Will you?

After work I finished updating my cv. I then emailed it to a couple of people (both recruiters, both on openBC).

I did some other things as well and then it was 23.25 and therefore bed time.

More tomorrow.

CVs for Germany

In case you've forgotten I'm now in Munich.

My assignment will probably finish at the end of October.

Then I'll need another job in Munich ... I've decided to stay here for various reasons.

Now, Germans can be a bit picky about c.v.s (or lebenslauf as they call them). In fact they often like photos as well. Amazing.

But I don't want to work for predominantly German commpanies so I'm hoping my current c.v.'s format, which I rather like, will be suitable.

Times New Roman

Be careful with the fonts you use on c.v.s. Not everyone, apparently, likes Times New Roman.

Faceoff

Well, I tried to join Facebook, the new social networking phenomenon.

But I couldn't. Facebook needs you to register against work, school or college. I chose "Work" but it then tried to match my email address against a known employer. But I never use my work-time email addresses. Besides, I'm freelancing at the moment so that wouldn't really be appropriate.

Looks like I'm going to miss out

JASPER

Monster hasn't given up on me even if some of the readers of this blog have.

They sent me an email about JASPER, their online analytical tool.

Today I took it and, well I wasn't amazed but I was impressed. It seems to have identified me quite well, from a work perspective.

By the way, it reckoned I am a "visionary".
