I suspect that most, if not all, HR staffs are woefully ignorant of
the vast variety of titles used to describe mainframe-related positions.
Its been a long time since I had to interview (I've been with Innovation
22 years) but I recall a few cases where I interviewed with a HR wonk
who just had a list of keywords provided by the actual hiring manager
(like "z/OS") and didn't let you get any further if you didn't match
(maybe you didn't get the interview even).
In a case like that (e.g. "OS/390 experience but not z/OS") it might be
worth asking to interview with the actual hiring manager, who will
hopefully realize that the two are closely related and the experience is
applicable.
