Greetings!

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) just
posted exam bulletins for Systems Software Specialist II--Technical
($5378.00--$6537.00 monthly) and Systems Software Specialist
III--Technical ($5909.00--$7181.00 monthly).  This doesn't happen often,
so I wanted to bring it to your attention.

CDCR is the largest user of HP-3000s among all the state agencies.  We
operate a network of about 75 MPE/iX-based servers, which includes
servers at each of the state's 33 prisons.  We use COBOL, TurboIMAGE,
VPLUS, PowerHouse 4GL, and Oracle software.  We will probably be
homesteading for several years, as the replacement system is still in
its early stages.  Of course we use a wide variety of platforms, not
just the 3000.

The Systems Software Specialist would typically work in such areas as
database administration, information security, system administration, or
networking--as opposed to application development and support.

If you are interested, the first step is to apply to take the exam that
will get you on the civil service "eligible list."  Do not delay.

The filing date for both of these exams is December 21, 2006.

For details, go to www.spb.ca.gov and follow the links:  Seeking
Employment with the State of California-->Exam Bulletins-->Exams by
Title-->SYSTEMS SOFTWARE SPECIALIST II [or III] (TECHNICAL).  It takes a
while to figure out how to fill out the application, so don't wait until
the last day.

Navigating the civil service hiring process can be a daunting task.
Give me a call or e-mail if I can help or provide any additional
information.
