There's LinkedIn, Xing (openBC), Facebook ... and now there's Plaxo.
Yip, Plaxo is getting all social-networky, bless 'em.
Now, where's the value in all this?
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.

The German efficiency question
A response!
"Thank you for your application and your interest in working for xxxxx.
After thoroughly checking your application we have to inform you today that we cannot consider your application for this position.
...
We thank you for your interest in our company and wish you all the best for your professional career."
Gosh, those Germans really are thorough. I applied on 20th December 2006 and had two interviews at the beginning of this year.
I received the above reply a month ago.
Not a big problem as I'm working as a global project manager based in Munich. To give you an indication of how global my job is, this posting is being written in Beijing.
And just because I have a job doesn't mean any let up in the job networking front.
So, more later ...
