OK - Here is a job (contract) AS400, Cobol

Enough talk about ridiculous requirements. Here's a contract for anyone in this country:
You must know Cobol on the 400. This is a conversion from Mainframe to the iSeries. 

You can work remotely though the end client is in PA.  6-7 months!!!
Since this is a remote project they are expecting to see the "no travel required" reflected in the hourly rate. 

Please respond off line for more details.

P.S.  No degree required!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks,

Add me to that crowd of AAS only.  Although I'm only a few hours shy of a
BS, it's never been a priority for me to finish it as I've never worked
anywhere that required it or that paid any better because of having it.
Other than to say "Whoopee...I now have the same piece of paper as an
inexperienced 22 year old kid...", I personally have never seen the need to complete it. I always figured that 8 years in the Air Force Security Police 
and 17+ years AS/400 programming experience said a lot more about my
character and skills than a piece of paper that anyone can get.

I'm as guilty as you Paul.  20+ years experience but never got off my duff
to upgrade my Associates degree to a bachelor's degree.

Unfortunately the 20 years of experience does not sway them from requiring

a
BS degree.

No argument. But you didn't answer the question about the 20 year guy
needing a degree.

Re: [Consult400] ...many MANY jobs go unfilled....?






Sorry to disagree Paul - but I don't think having specific requirements

in


order to be hired equates to "walking on water".........

Yes - the 90s were great.  If you were in the I.T. field all you had to

do


was sign up.  Companies spent untold billions in payroll hiring people
just
in case they were needed.  Remember "stay on" bonuses?  I do.  Companies
paid people TO NOT LEAVE.  Unbelievable.

Well now companies are a little more particular about what their salary
dollars are paying for.

I don't see anyything wrong with that.

OK, but what if one has 20 years experience in ops, but no BS degree?

Do

they stand a chance of getting an interview? A lot of the job ads I see
are looking for someone who walks on water, but the pay is geared for
someone who swims like a rock.

Re: [Consult400] ...many MANY jobs go unfilled....?






I am aware of 6 full time jobs that are open right now.  Each have

their

own
particular criteria - as in - they aren't simply hiring the first

person

who
say "OK, I'll do it......." rather they are expecting certain

backgrounds.


These requirments are not anything out of the ordinary.

One job requires knowledge of web-based tools combined with AS400.  One
requires a BS degree AND ops background.  Another position is expecting

a

specific package (JDE) while the others are looking for things

particular

to
their needs.

So to summarize - there are plenty of jobs out here.

Some members of these lists are forever stuck in 2002.

Can we give this a rest?  I'd rather not have to unsubscribe to this
informative list just to skip the next week or two of
this............

When a woman is pregnant, fire her.  Do not hire young married

women.


Its cheaper.

really

costs.  Like the fellow here who's wife used fertility treatments

and

gave
birth to triplets, the biggest weighing 2 pounds.  The costs there

make

open heart surgery look simply like a bill for lunch at McDonalds.

Are we allowed to discriminate against the young (not that I'm

advocating

it)?  After all, Article II, Section 1, line 4 of the  US

Constitution

forbids anyone under the age of 35 from becoming president.
