• "I would like to say that this is one of the coolest contests that I have ever entered. I mean the chance to have your resume posted through your database is probably the best prize you could offer in my eyes. I have been working on the mainframe for over a year now with the internship I currently have and I have learned so many things through this contest that have impressed my co-workers. So once again, Thank you for everything and I cant wait to hear the results and get on with Part 3!!!!"

• "I participated in the Master the Mainframe competition last year and enjoyed the challenge of learning how to be productive on Big Iron. In fact, a mere mention of mainframe knowledge alone during an interview very likely earned me an internship over the summer scheduling jobs using TWS. I'm hoping to learn more this time around and dive into part 3 to gain more skills that could open up more exciting opportunities in this field."

• "I'm currently going through all of the problems again, quadruple checking my work and doing some problems over so that I have a better handle before submitting and going on to Part 3. I'm having a blast with this competition!"

• "Master the Mainframe has really given me an opportunity to broaden my horizons - I can now add another skill to my resume! I am currently working on the Java/DB2 question and I am finding it to be a great challenge. I have to admit I regret not competing in Part Three of the contest last year. This seems to be where all the really fun stuff is!! I am looking forward to seeing what else you guys have waiting for me. Wish me luck and thanks for the great experience !! :-)"

• "My participation and successful completion of Part One (I'm still working on Part Two) of the IBM Master the Mainframe Contest helped to get me a job at [an international bank] working as a Junior Systems Support Analyst. This position has never been offered to a student before and I never would have been able to secure it without all that I have learned so far in the contest. Thanks for the great experience! I really appreciate it!"

• "The hands on experience with z/OS got me even more interested in the mainframe world. With the experience I've gained through classes and the contest I have secured a job working on the z/OS operating system. I would recommend the contest to anyone who is interested in computer science and IT in general, many people will never have a chance to interact directly with a mainframe, and this is a great opportunity."
