The mechanics of base z/OS skills have gotten much easier, amazingly so
thinking back to the 1970's when releases and PTF's arrived by tape and
SMPE was new.  So, the basics are easier, and if you used Internet
delivery, and installed OMVS and Communications server to include TCPIP
with 1.13 you should be still fairly prepared.

I would get ahold of the most current ServerPac Installing your order,
Using the Installation Dialog, and Migration manuals and start reading.

A lot depends upon what the new site is looking for.  Do their needs match
your skills? Be up front about what you can and cannot offer.  If they want
experience and current skills they are likely to have to do a lot of
looking.  That combination is getting rare.  If they take you on, make it
clear that you will get up to speed asap and invest some of your own time.
Much depends upon your fellow workers who should be supportive and willing
to work with you.

Good luck.
