Thank you! I am happy that I found your channel. Very interesting!
Welcome! I hope my videos can help you much more in the future and thank you for watching :)
This is a great video! I completely agree about keeping the resume text without any of the styling. Great tips!
For sure! Thanks so much for watching :)
I enjoy watching you are so charming
Thaaanks a lot for the video! I do have a QA job at the moment, but really don't like the company and outdated tech they are using. Trying to switch jobs, but this year, the amount of responses to my CV has dropped drastically! It is indeed very demoralising :( Very tough market.
Improving my API testing skills at the moment, and need to work on soft skills for these interviews for sure.
Will go to tweak CV with your tips. Already kept it at two pages only.
Hard to stay productive, with this situation. Was never worried about the job before this year.
Looking for a job while you have one is definitely the least stressful. And yes, the market is tough. Do you have a Linkedin and have it up to date? That'll definitely help take some of the pressure off of looking, since hopefully if its updated and has the right keywords / skills, recruiters will come to you. Glad this video was helpful but if you have any other questions, please be sure to ask happy to help anyway I can :)
thank you so much for such a great videos !
Also I’m embarrassed to apply to a job again with the refined resume lol . I think they’ll think I’m weird or not honest.
I'd do it anyway honestly. It's mostly computers filtering through them first anyway (or so I've been told).
I think I’ve gone wrong with the AI assist and it’s too long . I’m new to the field and it’s so overwhelming trying to get traction. I’m doing a lot of training to learn automation, I don’t use it for user acceptance testing 😢 whew
I can definitely understand how overwhelming and frustrating it might be but take it one thing at a time. User acceptance testing is adjacent, so make sure you have that highlighted on your resume!
What is the fate of beginner in this field?The competition is not funny.
@@ebubefavour734 I don't see too many junior or entry level jobs in my search however, I'm sure they're out there. If you truly want to get into QA and are a beginner, I will say the gaming industry is always hiring for entry level testers. That's how I got my start. But there are definitely some cons to that industry. In your job search though, if you focus on looking for analyst or junior level QA as a part of your keyword search, those tend to lean more beginner level without requiring experience. Hope that helps and seriously, best of luck on your search
