The big question is why you want to return to being an exec assistant after being a SW engineer.
Steven, The short answer: I don't know enough of the programming languages to get another SW engineer position. The semi-short answer: unfortunately for me, lack of a degree and experience keeps me from getting positions in the field. So I have to return to being an Exec Assistant until I can finish getting my degree. I was lucky enough that the company took a chance on me, but they decided to downsize, leaving me to fall back on my skills as an Exec Assistant. Thanks for responding! Jami | |
