Urgent Help Requested...Sorry for this post.

[Howard Rifkind]

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.
   
  Running 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
