That is the case for virtually any technical job. I once got turned down for a job because I didn't have CoBOL 2 experience. I had lots of MVS CoBOL experience, but had worked most recently on a VAX using CoBOL which looked just like CoBOL 2. But usually, buzz word filtering is done before your resume gets a chance to be seen by anybody in IS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
