Back in those days you could actually find a job after sending out a few resumes. Now you can send out lots of resumes and not hear a thing. In 1980, I talked to a headhunter. I had only 2 years experience, but after interviews with 3 companies, I had a new job. Now, at least in Milwaukee, you can go a whole year and there are no sysprog openings. Of course back then, I think there were around 30 companies running MVS. Now, maybe 6 or 8.

Said he typed up a new resume that night. Took the first offer in
California and has been there ever since(37 years).
