Hum, I would have failed to get my first job. I came out of college directly into systems. I as applying for a programming job. I had apparently talked myself out of a number of them. At the place that hired me, I could see the programming managers eyes glazing over, again. He told me to wait a bit. The system programming manager then came in to talk to me. I got the job because I knew s/370 assembler and OS JCL ( this was back in the OS/VS1 days). Turns out the programming manager went to the systems manager and said (paraphrasing) "You might want to talk to my applicant. I don't understand a damn word he's saying!"
Of course, my first two weeks at that job was in the computer room, mounting tapes on 3420 drives and tearing paper off of the 1403N1 printer. Just so I'd know what problems I could cause if I messed up my JCL and didn't retain tape volumes or produced too many different reports that had to be separated.
