I thought it was interesting how the job market has changed.

I have a BS. 8i certified. Data warehouse experience. Designer 2K experience. Oracle Apps and Peoplesoft experience. Mainframe experience (sans Oracle). 16yrs IT experience (as a perm employee) half of which as a DBA (oracle, sybase, sql server).

In the past, my broad background would have had these folks salivating over me. Now, I'm lacking key pedigree and would end up in file 13. -Have a good one

based on this I can't send in my resume:

BA not BS in Computer Science
no Master's degree at all
no OCP 9i and no certificates for all other levels (well, they are *somewhere* in my house but I ain't digging through to find them) no OCM (I didn't know they gave OCM particular to platforms anyway) no data warehouse experience (getting it now) no Designer 2000
no financial ERP package experience at all no Oracle on IBM
Oracle on Sun and HP-UX so I guess I qualify for that part no Unix admin experience and no coursework in Unix admin

hm, I must be hard-core un-hireable then. Wonder why I keep getting job offers?

:)

this is, of course, trash... I seriously doubt there is anyone out there who has all this. I don't even know if there are any OCM people out there, other than the 6 who were given honorary OCM at OpenWorld last year.
