I've been corresponding with a recruitment agent about a job I won't get (because it is for a Scrum Master - a project method I loathe because it is insufficiently agile).
After sending some certificates - as requested - she called me and asked to confirm my salary requirements (she had been told them by a colleague of hers).
I confirmed and then she said "but this job I only for 35 hours per week, your last job was probably 40 hours" (this was all in German).
I explained that normally at my level I am working at least 50 hours per week whatever the contract says. Even in Germany - leadership roles can opt out of working time restrictions.
She'll get back to me.
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.
