Home Study 2003 – 2006
Even though I had chosen not to work from 10/2003 until 11/2006, I kept my knowledge current. Before returning to the job market, I decided to refresh my knowledge, so I spent five months doing extensive studying of all of the relevant Mike Murach manuals (COBOL, DB2/SQL, CICS, VSAM, and JCL). I definitely feel that it got me back up to speed on those subjects and made me ready to return to the job market.
