If anyone would like a pretty chill career change, get familiar with the CMS Drupal and hit up recruitment agencies to become a 'Digital Content Specialist'.

https://www.drupal.org/home

It's free and open source. You could buy some web hosting and install it through cPanel, then do enough Youtube courses to put it on your resume. All Victorian Government websites are on Drupal, and so are some Federal ones. You might be able to get a plush gig copying and pasting content from word docs to websites.

That’s so good of you to post that.

Used to work with Joomla, but that was aeons ago.

Wouldn’t mind switching back to a plush gig. (Have a bit of a jack of all background that always is hard to put on paper, but easier to chat about. Might be a bit too out of the loop these days.)

That's where a decent recruiter can be really helpful. You talk to them and put your background in context and then they can advocate for you.

I've been placed by the recruiter that got me my upcoming role a couple of times. I had a 15 minute teams call with the client and they decided to pick me off that

Thanks! I might actually consider it.
