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.

You for coffee (?)

Slate.com - bless'em - has the definite answer on whether you should accept a coffee from the interviewer when you are being interviewed in a Starbucks.

And my definitive answer for when you are offered an cream in an ice cream parlour by an interviewer (when you had earlier been told the interview would be held in an office) is to answer with a firm, but polite, "fuck off".

Unless you are applying to work in the ice cream business you know, from my experience, that it will end up being an awful job.
