More thoughts on my education and background…
Training and experience in performance auditing provided skills that transferred well to testing computer systems/applications. Here is an example of a performance auditing report:

It determined the extent to which recommendations were followed. Testing compares actual to expected - looking for defects or unexpected/undesirable system behavior.
A friend once told me more attention needs to be paid to transferable skills. I think she is right.
