 Subject: Job Available?
Message:
Hello, my name is David. I am a retired Cobol Sr. Computer Programmer Analyst. I have developed/created programming systems, the cycle beginning with problem definition and ending with post implementation follow-up. I have also team lead a project that involved an outsourcing legacy platform company upgrading our operating system. I was responsible for insuring the processing integrity of all the applications systems.
I am interested in becoming active again in Information Technology utilizing my past skills and becoming familiar with additional ones.
Any hints or suggestions? Thanks for your time and any consideration.
David

I would be more than happy to share any Cobol knowledge I have; may require some recall.
Are there any specific questions you have at the time?

Not sure how much progress you've made, so don't know if you are still looking for any tips? I take it you were primarily in Mainframe? How long have you been retired, and are you looking to be able to stay where you currently reside?. I ask because I am not retired, but am also a senior - ABout 20 years in the business, the last 10 in consulting. In consulting, there are still quite a few mainframe positions available, but you have to be willing to go where the work is, and I was getting tired of moving every year or so. So I have recently decided someone with my experience should be easily able to learn new tech myself - I have found that while training can be SO EXPENSIVE even though looking at it as an investment in my career, there is alot out there if you spend time looking AND I would thinki especially a retired person, willing to hit it hard from home could pick up some new skills fairly easily. From there it is really a matter of marketing yourself with your new skills based on having such a lengthy career behind you already in IT. Anyway, a few things I have found helpful - a website called staffkit.com has an all inclusive package of every single course they offer (this is all online training) for 399.00 which entitles you to a years use of the training plus mentoring (I have not used the mentoring yet). However, a few caveats: These courses for the most part WILL NOT be ones in which you are actually doing work in the software - the ones I have seen to date are well written for what they are, but I must admit I was unhappy to find out that they really are kind of Q/A as far as testing your learning. However, JAVA, JavaBeans etc are free downloads from Sun, Sun has a developer website with free tutorials, as far as Microsoft, you can get express versions of VB, Visual Studio, SQL Server, etc., and they also have a great Developer website that includes some tutorials, etc. So I found it helpful to take the general object oriented course(s) on Staff Kit, then download the above software, and practice projects from the above websites and some others that I found via a google search. Lastly, I found a fair amount of high quality CBT training, some in which you ARE working in the actual environment (so either the software is included, the purchase provides you to be able to download it, or it is simulated) for really good prices. By trial and error I have learned to really ask questions to find out if the CBT is REALLY interactive or is just basically training with a bunch of Q an A at the end. Hope this helps? Of course, I have just begun this process recently so I don't know yet how it will actually turn out, but have confidence that my prior background will allow me to sell beginner skills in web technologies fairly easily, we shall see..
