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.

Luck maybe

After a hard week at work I left the office early yesterday.

But that was so I could work from home whilst waiting for someone to read and change the water meter - because that is what they do in Munich.

As I was winding down from work my mobile rang. It was a London agency calling about a project management job in Munich.

I don't really do PM work any more (although I am assisting in setting up a methodology in my company) so I named a very high compensation I would want.

Apparently that was not a problem.

OK, I sent the agent my details.

Which is good because although the job spec in not entirely up my street anymore we should all by now know that job specs that agencies give are rarely related to reality.

Today I read this article on luck.
