RE: Software Vendors (And US too) - A small rant

How sad. Customers that don't want to hire iSeries "attitude." Perhaps the
customers need their "attitude" adjusted. No wonder this business is no fun
anymore.

If you are putting it on your Resume you certainly need to lead with IBM
i on Power Systems. Certainly on a resume you would also mention
"including System i, iSeries, and AS/400" I am often asked to review
candidate resume's and I can tell you that Leading with current names
and technologies improves your chances of an interview. Leading with
"AS/400" or "iSeries" will cost you 'points'. Failing to even mention
IBM i or Power nearly guarantees you a circular filing. What you say on
your resume dates your attitude. My customers don't want to hire
"AS/400" or "iSeries" attitude.
