thankyou everyone, some very helpful responses there. I am a UK national living in Germany for those who asked
--- Quote from: ebastler on October 15, 2022, 03:17:12 pm ---To be more direct: You need to counter the impression that, ever since finishing your PhD, you were just "drifting". Both, the studio technician job and the self employed (tinkering? unemployed?) time could be interpreted as such, with the gaps in-between not helping.
--- End quote ---
It's no secret for me in my personal life, although I wouldn't tell employers - I had an injury which resulted in long term, persistent migraines and I found it very difficult to concentrate / handle stress, so I eventually became self-employed after a couple of false starts at different jobs. I ran a small business doing what was my hobby - designing audio equipment - and now I sell through vendors around the world. Now I'm a lot better now and I want to challenge myself more - I'm hoping my 'drift time' doesn't spoil my chances!

Initial resume screening is AI robots.
little chance of getting any human response
Post Brexit you will need an EU or Germany visa, work permit
German economic outlook is poor due to energy shortages and manufacturing locating out of Germany
personal connexion is the best way to get a good job
Bon courage
Jon
