Look these up, SERCo.

At one time they had contracts to look after a lot of static kit in BAOR.

I make no comment on their present day reputation.

Why don't you contact the RRC(Regional Resettlement Centre) Herford and speak to the women there? I spoke to them last week about jobs in Germany and they have loads of technical/ engineering jobs suited to a REME skills-set all over Germany. In fact there is not enough people to fill the available vacancies, a lot of German and multi-national companies are actively contacting Herford and specifically looking for ex-Brit Army personnel with an engineering background. Although some of these jobs may not pay the best it is a good way to find your feet on the Deutsche Civvy strasse.

An important point to mention, how good is your German? Hopefully better than just ordering a chicken Zinger burger from KFC in Paderborn or ordering something extra special at Tingle-Tangles!

With regards to your German sentence what does the first word mean? Is it the word - Wenn or Wann (If or when) and which if do you mean; e.g Wenn Sie wollen oder Ob Sie wollen?

Its neither; it should be "Wenn" or better yet "Falls" "Wen" only works in the context of "Wen meinst Du?" I like "liebeslauf" literally that is a love CV or a 'love run'. I could now release my inner bugsy and correct the whole sentence but I abstain. Not bad for an island monkey.
