VAX COBOL Developer - am I too late?

Hi,

I am an extremely experienced VAX COBOL developer (some 18 years experience?) based currently in the UK, but extremely keen to take a contract like this. Have you now filled the position, and in any case is this open to non-US applicants?

I have worked on a large number of applications over the years, from manufacturing to financial services, and am completely fluent in all things VAX & Alpha/OpenVMS COBOL related!

If the position is still open please let me know and I will send my CV across to you straightaway.

I hope to hear from you soon,

My best wishes,
Andy Barton.

Tel: +44 (0)7834 178752

Sadly, I can't figure out from these postings WHERE the job is. IS the job still available and HOW DO WE APPLY.

Wouldn't it be nice if cobol vax jobs still existed in this universe?

I know what you mean! Ten years ago there were still plenty around - now I see two or three possible openings each year - if that.

I think the job is surely in Dallas, but I received no reply from my enquiry two months ago so know nothing more. Good luck searching...
