I didnt have a computer job until 2001 :)


My printed copy of my "resume" (a list of crap i could do on a computer) was lost, so i had my first interview for a helpdesk position over a handwritten list of skills. On Notebook paper. in 2 colors of ink and pencil.



Not only did i get the job, i set an IT department record for fast promotions and multiple raises in years where most people were lucky to see 2% and not get canned.

Now i work a job where about 80% of the peopel around me are mainframe programmers. weird.
