Inputs from customer:

Here is a list of buzzwords that I look for in resumes and other additional information.

Many times candidates with TPF/zTPF experience have applications programmer experience and not systems programmer experience. We need systems programmer for these positions.

In the details below, I say "x" years, "y" years, or "z" years of experience and they'd normally be in the 15-20 year range. I've stopped putting numbers in to these requirements to prevent excluding someone with 5-10 years that would still be a great fit for our customer needs.

TPF Systems Programmer Buzzword s... relating to z/TPF. They may be found in other client's, in different contexts, but will be of interest to me when found in proximity to TPF. zTPF, or z/TPF.
