Get a Computer Programming Job

Nail the Salary Negotiation
Especially as you advance in your career, you’ll find that talented, reliable IT workers are in great demand. But despite this fact, many talented IT workers don’t take the opportunity to negotiate their salaries when changing jobs.
Seize that opportunity by arming yourself with data on what other people with your title and similar levels of experience are making. Visit the salary calculator on our Job Search page to get a good idea of the averages. Then adjust your sights based on the situation you’re getting into.
Check out Matthew Moran’s guide to Getting the Salary You Deserve, for more tips. If you stay creative, remain firm, and start the negotiation process early, you’re much more likely to end up with the salary you want then just the one the company is offering.

If you are looking to get back into computer programming you will find an abundance of jobs in Microsoft .NET and Java platforms. There is a great deal of free training out on the web to get started or up-to-speed in these fields. I regularly post information on my blog about free training opportunities for both platforms. Take a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/rampup/default.aspx for more information on free training for Microsoft .NET programmers.
If you are looking to get back into Mainframe programming I would still recommend taking the Mind Leaders classes as those will help you significantly. My company uses Mind Leaders for continuing education for many of our technical areas. Good luck on your search!

I was an IBm mainframe COBOL/IMS/DB2/CICS/VSAM prorgammer for over 20 years, but I haven't done it in almost five years. I located some online courses at mindeleaders.com. If i took these, would it help me get back to mainframe programming? Would ompanies consider these courses?
