Ross Ingersoll Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 How do you go about getting new jobs, do you just wait for interviews, apply for jobs or just leave a club after your contract runs out? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar2010 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Depends. Personally I very rarely apply for jobs if I'm employed and I rarely resign. I usually either leave at the end of my contract if I'm bored at a club (Holiday/apply all jobs) or wait for an offer from a better club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwest227 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Journeyman is a title that could probably be applied to most, if not all, of my saves! Not through design, I just tend to have a fairly short attention span with most of my club jobs. I usually like to gain experience in several countries, building up coaching badges & reputation from nothing, before getting a job at a "big" team. Once there, I will usually spend considerably more time in the job to build a legacy of sorts. In my most recent save I actually created my own club which I placed in the Highlands League in Scotland. This was supposed to be a one club save but once I got sacked near the end of my second season, off I went again in my journeyman ways! Built up experience with Forfar and Montrose in Scotland before heading to Spain with Sevilla's B team, then to Switzerland with FC Thun and FC Basel. I'm now in France. Spent 2 years with Rennes then I got offered the Lyon job. I always have Lyon as a "favourite" team so was never going to turn them down. Now I'm there I expect I'll stay for at least 4-5 years before the journeyman itch starts up again! As far as how I go about getting the jobs - I leave the club as and when I have reached the end of my tether! Usually it will be at the end of a season or at the end of my contract (I tend to normally sign relatively short term contracts for this reason) but sometimes frustration/boredom means I'll pull the trigger slightly earlier. Then I simply holiday and auto apply for all jobs (sometimes limited to top divisions) and attend the interviews for the jobs I like the look of. One piece of advice though is not to just take the first job you get offered - I have spent a lot of time unemployed and on holiday to wait for the right opportunities to come up!

Ross Ingersoll Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 i also created a club, Canterbury . I think the journeyman save would be best for me because i always tend to start a save and then start another one when i get bored of that team. Think i will try the short contract idea . I started out the lowest you can for a manager so will just look to build myself up before trying to get another job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwest227 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Good idea - my brother and used to always play in the same way when we were little - always start at a premier league club, always sign the same players and have the same frustrations before quitting and starting all over again! Working your way up is so much better I think. Ever since it changed from CM to FM I have adopted the start from scratch approach and I almost always get into the 2040s on a save and then I can look back on a really varied journey and career. It also means that you end up playing with regens across the board which I really enjoy the challenge of, as well as seeing where the real players end up!

roykela Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I stick around until i get the sack or i resign due to not getting anywhere. Then i holiday and apply for all jobs, for then to continue playing when i've found a club interesting enough. I never let a contract run out. Although it can happen sometimes i rarely take a job at another club if i'm already under contract. I'm close to being sacked or close to resigning anyway, if that occurs. That's pretty much how i do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrw072 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I find that if I wait to be offered an interview, it's a long wait as noting ever appears. But if I apply for a job I get a few opportunities. So I tend to apply for jobs at teams I consider to be at the next up from the one I am managing. Sometimes I'm successful, sometimes not! I actually started a new game off unemployed. Something I haven't done for a long time. I gave myself a moderate background. Ex pro, but not to any great level and a few offers for interviews came to me. But none of the teams interested me really. They were mainly League 1 English clubs. So I decided to stay unemployed and apply for a 'Big' job, not expecting to get it though. When the Lokomotiv Moscow job came up I thought they would laugh off my interest. But they said they were flattered and I landed it. I think I will stay there for 3 seasons then look to move on to a team in another country by actively applying for jobs in my 3 season. Providing I'm not sacked beforehand!
