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.

It's 2017

And yet the company wanted only a telephone interview. They called me a few minutes before I boarded a plane and arranged an interview next week. As I will be away they said it would be by telephone. I've been using video calls professionally and personally for about ten years so I naturally suggested a Skype video call. But they just wanted a POTS* call.

I guess it's that sort of company even though it is in the IT business.

Other companies - not many to be honest - take as granted that the first, non-site interview will be by video.
