• DETERMINING FACTORS, DESIRABLE PERSONALITY TRAITS AND SKILLSETS

  For higher-level mainframe systems programmer positions, candidates should have a demonstrable ability to mentor and teach their craft to other personnel on the team. Likewise, lower and entry-level positions should be filled by candidates with a demonstrable ability to accept instruction. Keeping systems up and running over time will require a comprehensive succession plan.

  While mainframe systems programmers are vital to fundamental IT infrastructure and system effectiveness, it is not a glamorous job. Programmers tend to be meticulous, detail-oriented and willing to accept a position that exists behind the scenes. Candidates with flashy and showy personalities — while often capable engineers — may find the job of mainframe systems programmer a bit tedious.
