EDI/SNA OS/2 COMMUNICATIONS S/W Eng. (CSE) [MODERATE TRAVEL] - San Diego, CA
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Our client Company has a PC-based MIS product which has an OS/2 based 
interface platform (communications server) that takes data from the 
Company's PC-based system and from a customer's mainframe-based MIS system, 
and then passes data in both directions.  The Company's information system 
itself is based on PC-DOS, MS-Windows, Novell LAN, and MDBS database.  The 
OS/2 based communications server is written in Smalltalk-V/PM. (The Company 
will teach the candidate Smalltalk.)

The CSE will design and implement SNA (LU6.2), TCP/IP, ASYNC, 3270) 
interfaces between mainframe based systems and PC based systems.

The CSE will work with the customer to define an interface spec, then build 
the EDI translation software that will convert from one data format to 
another, and also program whatever communications protocol is necessary to 
establish a link to pass transactions.

The job requires extensive (3+ years) OS/2 product development experience (not 
just academic study) involving SNA (LU6.2), TCP/IP (for OS/2), ASYNC, and 
3270 communications protocol and electronic data interchange (EDI).  The job 
involves MODERATE TRAVEL ranging from 1 week every other month up to 2 
weeks/month to do the implementation at the customer's site.  The CSE will 
be working alone at the customer's site, so must be able to function with no 
guidance and be able to use good judgement.  There is one other CSE now.

Salary range for this PERMANENT EMPLOYEE position is $48K-$60K.


Candidates we CANNOT help
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
IMMIGRANTS:          We are unable to place people on F-1 or H-1 visas.

ENTRY-LEVEL GRADS:   Employers utilize College Placement Offices to hire
                     recent graduates with no paid commercial industry
                     experience.  EMPLOYERS DO NOT USE RECRUITING FIRMS
                     FOR THIS PURPOSE.  WE ARE UNABLE TO ASSIST
                     ENTRY-LEVEL GRADUATES WITH NO PAID COMMERCIAL INDUSTRY
                     EMPLOYMENT.                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

FREQUENT JOB         Employers use recruiting firms to find engineers
CHANGES:             who have been on ONE JOB 3+ YEARS and had FULL
                     LIFE-CYCLE development experience.  If you have changed
                     jobs every 1-2 years, even though no fault of your own,
                     the probability of a company paying a fee for you is
                     very small.  YOU ARE MUCH MORE LIKELY TO RECEIVE AN
                     OFFER BY APPLYING DIRECTLY TO THE COMPANY.


RESUME ADVICE
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
RESUME CONTENT:      Content is much more effective in attracting an
                     employer's attention than cosmetic appearance.  Make
                     sure that EACH PROJECT you describe in your resume
                     covers 4 points: (1) Your FUNCTIONAL title (e.g.,
                     Lead of 3-person team); (2) Specific functions you
                     PERSONALLY performed (e.g., analysis, design, coding,
                     testing, etc.); (3) Description of type of project,
                     CPU, OS, languages, methodologies, tools; (4) The end
                     result (e.g., the system went into production or was
                     shipped on schedule).  You should also have a Summary
                     of Expertise at the beginning of your resume that
                     lists the GENERIC AREAS (e.g. GUI design, Network
                     Management design, etc.) that you are truly expert
                     in, as well as CPU, OS, languages, tools, and
                     methodologies.
