Not to make light of your situation, but the North Jersey and New York areas "seem" to have more requirements that most other places in the country.
The hottest skills recently seem to be CICS, MQ, DB2 and Storage Management (open systems and MVS).

Hello folks; Sorry to post this message like this but it is urgent. Yesterday at 1500 the management who I work for laid me off, eliminated my position . whatever it is I'm now out of a job. They said that there wasn't anything left to do on the mainframe being it's life will end in 6/30/2008. Some severance pay but not that much. Would have been nice if they would have told me this and given me until June to look around for a new position being how tight things are now on the mainframe side. The mainframe is being elimated on June 30, 2008 and I was the last systems programmer in the house. They also let one other person go, he was a mainframe scheduler. I have some Novell/Console 1/Imanager experience and can find my way around Linux but not an expert. Installed z/OS 1.4 - CICS TS 2.3 Installed and ran z/VM 4.4. Looking for work in the New York/New Jersey Metro area.anyone know of anything out there or a real good head hunter? If so please let me know off line. Saw Dice posting, 15 postings for 3 or so jobs. Again sorry about this post but I need help. Thanks ____________________________________________________________________________ ________ Never miss a thing.
