I've been doing software development and I would like to get into software testing. I've been looking for software testing jobs, but they all require work experience in software testing. Should I still apply for those jobs?

Звук хуже чем с петлички. Явно не из микрофона в кадре

Really good advice, thanks!

I am learning more listening to your interviews than the course I’m taking 😅 thank you for this! Very helpful

Really appreciated this interview.

🔥🔥🔥

May I go through your agency, as potential candidate?

Thank you guys! Haven't checked your channel content for a while. That was a great discussion.

I cannot and will not listen these videos anymore. I’m 40 years old and in a bootcamp for TripleTen. Hearing this just makes no sense to me. Sorry but I don’t know what to think of this video. I’m trying like hell to get into tech, this shouldn’t be THAT ridiculous to make a career changes. I’m pushing forward with the bootcamp anyway. How else am i supposed to get into this industry if I don’t do SOMETHING??? I hear so many videos saying degrees don’t help, bootcamps don’t help? So what is it????

Very interesting vid but my brother in christ please turn up your microphone volume

Heys that’s so interesting would you be open to looking for intern talent at your recruitment agency?

Hey! Thanks for sharing such great content about QA engineering 🎉 I’d like to join your Slack channel, but the link doesn’t seem to work. Could you please help me? 🙏

She was pointed a really important point during the technical interview round, it is super important to ask them in certain technologies and tools😊

Very informative videos. Could you please do more!!!!

Отличное интервью, я купил оба курса у Артёма и с удовольствием прошёл

I stopped watching after the whole hiring diversity nonsense. The only thing hiring managers should care about is hiring the right person with the right skills for the job, considering how they will blend or mesh with the existing team and organization.

I respect the first answer

Thanks

Thank you so much!

Hi, I am a MoM .There was a lot of gap in my career because of my 3 kids .I have no software experience I need a job to work to earn for my family I don’t know where to start and how to get into market . I am hard worker and I learn quickly I need assistance to build my career

This was great. Really helpful feedback from George. When he asked at the end "if you had any questions" I honestly would be afraid incase I asked a horrible question as per his feedback 😂😂

What a great video! I was wondering if there is a way to get into the QA testing field as a student who is about to graduate with a bachelors degree in computer science. I have tailored up my resume according to your videos, is there any chance you can review my resume briefly. It would mean a lot, thanks.

3:22 3:58 4:56

This was a great interview .. never got into the technical weeds but it was apparent he know what he was talking about

Work life balance is the most important thing but ! 😊

u should have done podcast who switched to usa after 2020 lol. before 2020 it was way easier to go in usa and to get a job.

Hi, I'm Adnan Erlansyah from Indonesian. Now, I've been working as QA engineer since last year ago. But I'm still feeling unsure, whether the job that I do is correct or not. Because I'm only creating a new report test cases for the old project until now and several automate test code. But still it's not comfortable for me for the result. It always getting failed when the project has already deployed on production. Btw I'm solo employee. Oh yeah, btw, do you have any discord channel sir for the QA beginner?

I like the interviews. If someone wants to sign up for a QA tech lead interview as a candidate, how can that be done ?

Thank you.

Key Focus Areas in EM Interviews While technical skills are a given, EM interviews emphasize soft skills, particularly: Ownership: Demonstrating your ability to take a business problem from start to finish. Customer Obsession: Showing a deep understanding of customer needs and how your decisions impact them. Other Important Areas: Dealing with ambiguity Conflict resolution Performance management (handling both underperformers and star performers) Hiring and diversity Efficient execution (acting as a "third umbrella" for your team) Key Takeaway: Strong communication and concise delivery are crucial. Avoid rambling and focus on making your points clearly and effectively. The Importance of a Story Bank Build a library of 10-15 impactful stories from your career, drawing from performance reviews and significant projects. Map each story to the key areas mentioned above (e.g., ownership, customer obsession). Prepare for deep-dive questions about each story. Know the details inside and out. Don't shy away from "negative" stories about mistakes, but frame them to highlight your learnings and growth. Mastering the STAR Format The STAR format is essential for structuring your interview responses: Situation: Provide concise context (3-4 sentences max). Task: Clearly state your assigned task (1-2 sentences). Action: Detail the specific actions you took (using "I" statements). Don't be afraid to embellish slightly, but remain truthful. Result: Quantify your achievements with specific numbers (e.g., increased revenue, reduced latency). Key Takeaway: Practice adapting your stories to different questions, emphasizing the relevant aspects for each. Rehearse your responses in front of a mirror or with friends and family to get feedback and refine your delivery. Actionable Insights from the Mock Interviews The video includes mock interviews with three candidates, providing valuable real-time feedback. Here are some key takeaways: Clarity is paramount: Ensure your situation and task are crystal clear to the interviewer. Quantify your impact: Use numbers whenever possible to demonstrate your achievements. Focus on "I" statements: Emphasize your individual contributions, even in team efforts. Expand on key actions: Provide specific details about how you overcame challenges or achieved results. Connect to customer impact: Explicitly state how your actions benefited customers. Additional Tips Don't be afraid to ask clarifying questions if needed. Be mindful of the interviewer's seniority and tailor your responses accordingly. Consider the "story arc": Frame your stories with a clear beginning, middle, and end, highlighting challenges, actions, and positive outcomes. Read the book "Storyworthy" for tips on crafting compelling narratives. By following this advice and diligently preparing your story bank, you can significantly increase your chances of success in your next engineering management interview.

I left the market; it's horrible. Also, the interviewers became arrogant and ignorant. It sucks.
