Steve Rusch is an experienced software contractor in the Chicago land area serving large IBM mainframe shops using COBOL DB2 CICS IDMS VSAM JCL zOS. "You want
DB2? I got DB2... You need CICS? I live for CICS. You
got to have COBOL? I have excellent COBOL. You have to have
MVS? They call me Mr. MVS. You want someone that wrote the IBM
compiler and was the lead on the new Pentium Chip and aided in the design
of the Hubble Telescope... ummm... just call me when you want some DB2,
CICS, COBOL, MVS." "If you want a
fancy website your looking in the wrong place... but if you want someone
who can bring excellent technical software skills to your mainframe site,
well then... pleased to meet you" People say "I
see that you have wonderful technical skills, but Steve... have you Managed?" I
say "Yea... I've Managed... I've
managed to thrive in what is now one of the most competitive professional fields
after the fallout of the millennium hype. Yea... I guess I've
managed." "Why are you in
this profession?" they ask. "I am not really sure... If you think it's
because of the pay, think again... If you think there are delightful
projects of expanding technologies, been there done that... If you think I can live
long enough to catch the year 3000 craze, just take a look at my
cholesterol... I guess it is because I have been in technology my whole
life and that is who I am. I like what I do, and I can not
imagine doing anything else. The next time you look at me and say,
Hey Steve, thanks for solving that problem... I'll say... that's why I'm in this
profession."
I am available to stop in and take a TekChek test at your facility on any of the skills you find on my resume. |

| A note about these
tough times:
As we all know these are tough times for both Agents and Contractors. These days I hear of Clients opening positions for only HOURS before they close them because they receive too many resumes within that timeframe. I also hear about restrictions on the Agents in that Agents are now only allowed to present one or two resumes and if those don't cut it your out of luck. That is why it is even more important for Agents to get someone who has the skills on paper as well as the ability to connect with the Client in an interview. Of course you guessed it, I am that person. So send me an email. What I am about to say next is very straight forward but let's face it, these times are not for the timid... agree? So take a look at my resume and ask yourself this one question: Can I afford to be the one competing against this guy by allowing another Agent to present him for the same spot as my candidate? I'll talk to you soon. Regards, Last updated 07/12/2003 |
