- Realistically we will not find someone with mainframe experience in this rate, we usually place helpdesk people in these roles that have some JCL experience and mainframe concept knowledge.
- Need someone reliable that is really interested in this role- they have had a lot of turnover and the manager wants to change that.
- This role isnt the funnest job, but it is great experience. So make sure we communicate that and find someone that wants to be there!
- Back fill for William De La Cruz and Jose Estrada- DO NOT CALL THEM PLS
