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.

Und now ve vait

Goddamn it. It's the waiting I can't stand.

The phone didn't ring this morning.

But I interviewed so well.

Stoically I went for my German class.

But my handy (German for mobile phone - see, I'm learning) didn't ring.

After lunch I chilled out a bit.

But how can I chill when I'm waiting for a job offer which might not happen?
Quite easily actually.

Then my mobile phone did ring.

And it was the agency.

And they told me that their client wants to take me on.

Would the middle of May be ok? Absolutely, gives me time to sort a few things out in fact (I had thought that if they wanted me, they would want me to start this Monday).

They may even have to postpone the start date by a week as they have space problems.

That's fine for me too.

This week I applied for no jobs, had one interview and one offer, which I'm going to accept.
