As part of it, for the first time since 1979, I tried self-testing my typing speed. It's not very impressive. My accuracy is great, but I never have put the time into learning true touch-typing, and that looks like a determining factor. So this weekend's project is typing practice, and seeing how quickly I can boost my speed while retaining accuracy.
I'm using the free tutor at TypingWeb and so far it's going fairly well.

The right keyboard/angle make a huge difference though.
And good luck on the job. You're right, getting your foot in the door is important. xoxo
