9. Hubby would stand a much better chance at the cyber security stuff than I would

Sep 2020

He was a programmer for years until they moved him into management. He is now director over all financials, hr, student records, and the DBA programming groups. He has years of experience in upgrading management and customization of Oracle, PeopleSoft, as well as other packages. Me, well I have secretarial, which morphed into web design/light javascript development, CashNet, desktop support, and some business analyst training. I was looking last night at positions that were actively hiring, and saw that there were several places looking for QA/Testing type candidates. I *might* fit into one of those since we all were responsible for cross testing applications before we actually hired a QA tester.

Truth is, I have no idea where to begin to look. I know Indeed.com has been a fairly decent place to look (at least the kids found something there). Hubby has a ton of head-hunter contacts. I told him to get in touch with them to put feelers out. They hope to have the retirees and anyone else they deem expendable out by Xmas. They have to cut at least 38% of the entire budget.
