I've also seen wonky questionnaires, e.g., asking both about experience with 3168 and with 370/168, even though the 3168 is the processor for the 370/168.

It does make googling for technical information difficult at times Right, with a space after "IBM". Stupid name (and of course un-googleable: "When I was at IBM, I used to." comes up instead), but it's the name. Not AS/400, not iSeries, not System i, any more than that laptop you're on is a Pentium (or a 386, or an 8086). Of course many people still call it "AS/400"; a jobreq shouldn't. It might *also* mention it, as in: "IBM i (System i, iSeries, AS/400)". Yes, I'm being a purist here. But to me it just shows a lack of precision that would be concerning in an employer-again, same as a PC jobreq that said "Familiarity with Pentium computers". Shmuel: No, different recruiting firms. Clearly some jobreq shows up on indeed.com or something and the bottom-feeders get trolling. ...phsiii ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
