        Oh.. hang on...

        Publically | Define Publically at Dictionary.com

        publically

        adverb
        in a manner accessible to or observable by the public; openly; "she admitted publicly to being a communist" [syn: publicly] [ant: in camera]
        Is there a case for

        In a sense, we each had a point. My colleague was (in ironic mode) simply deferring to the general rule that adjectives ending in –ic form adverbs by adding –ally: tragic –> tragically, athletic –> athletically. I was following the advice of most dictionaries, which give publicly as the correct form, with publically as a less frequent, non-standard variant. (Publically does not feature at all in the Macmillan English Dictionary.) The dictionaries are consistent with the corpus evidence: in the British National Corpus (compiled early 1990s), publicly is more than 150 times more frequent than publically.

          1.1 [OFTEN SENTENCE ADVERB] Used in reference to views expressed to others and not necessarily genuinely felt:
          publicly, officials criticized the resolution, but privately they thought it tolerable
          MORE EXAMPLE SENTENCES
          2By the state rather than an independent, commercial company:
          a publicly owned company
          MORE EXAMPLE SENTENCES
          Usage

          Note that the spelling is publicly, not -ally.
          publicly: definition of publicly in Oxford dictionary (British & World English)

            For a testing role you'll be lucky to get anything with such a limited cv. Do you have any testing specific qualifications? These are an absolute neccessity (although no one has ever asked to see my certs).

                  What SS said I'm afraid you'll need more than that to land a decent role, I myself am a tester and I can't remember the last time I saw a role for AS-400. My skill set is very diverse and this helps when looking for new roles, best of luck to you but you need to think about longevity with regards to your skill set.

                      AS/400 has been iSeries and then System i for ages now I think. Perhaps time for a find and replace on the OP's CV...
