Today I applied for three jobs. And yesterday I applied for one job too.
Which is good. Traditionally my target has been five jobs per week.
I have my doubts that I could consistently achieve this when looking for a job in Munich.
For a start, the job situtation in Germany is still not very good.
Then, quite a few jobs ask for excellent levels of German. I don't apply for those. But otherwise, if a job is advertised in German, and it seems appropriate, then I do apply, in English.
A couple of todays jobs were written in German. Well, I can read them fine so I felt there was no harm in applying.
The third one was for a contract in London. I don't really want to work in London. But the description did seem rather appropriate (at least the first time I read it) so I applied. And it may well be possible for me to fly into London during the week and fly back to Munich at the weekends.
Most contractors do it the other way round, so maybe I'll be zigging when others are zagging.
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.
