I was going to have a go but I was afraid I would miss half of it and you would publically shame me again so thought it better to stay quietly ignorant
publicly
The material prosperity of a nation is not an abiding possession; the deeds of its people are.
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.

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...
