Seeking some sort of computer job.

Currently I am unemployed.

I would like to get hired doing some kind of computer developing job. I have education with JavaScript, Microsoft Visual Basic, Oracle, ASP (which is now .NET) and HTML. The reason I am posting this message is because even though I have the education for these computer skills, no one wants to hire me because I don’t have WORKING EXPERIENCE with these skills.

Just to let you know, in the past, I was an IBM Mainframe Cobol computer programmer with 18 years experience. However, because Mainframe and Cobol has died out, my career basically came to an end. And so I went back to school, to try to keep my career alive by learning the computer skills I mentioned in the first paragraph.

However, even though I learned all those newer computer skills, it still hasn’t got me any job opportunities all because I don’t have the WORKING EXPERIENCE using them. Also, another reason that hurts me to get a computer job today is that now most American companies outsource the work to foreign countries.

So please if anyone knows of a computer job that I could really possibly have a chance to get hired on, let me know. If anyone out there can help me, I will send my resume upon request. Thanks.
