Tell them you'll work at half-rate or half-salary for the first month to get
up the speed...

No bitterness here. All my interviews go well, the stumbling block always is
my lack of recent programming work. The feedback is always positive from my
interviews, but thanks for the advice.

Have you gone and talked with the state employment people? Lots of
times they offer short programs that are extremely helpful in overcoming
the bitterness that shows up in job interviews. The programs work. :)

There is a company in my area that is constantly hiring inexperienced
RPG programmers that don't work out, if they hired me, it would only
take me a couple of months to come up to speed and they would have a
reliable programmer. For some reason they don't see this and just keep
on hiring these losers. It's frustrating to say the least.
