Thank you for having me Beez!!! Yall know I get nervous on camera😅 🙏 I hope every can take something away from my journey.❤

I will be signing up in July and I can't wait for this life change. You're truly a blessing from GOD! Thank you.

I purchased the road to qa at the beginning of this month, I haven't started yet… had a medical emergency

[@franklinjones609]

You did great sis!

[@yvettewilson7434]

I see most jobs require a degree.

[@jay_wright_thats_right]

That was you being nervous???

[@Fearless634]

Her program is the real deal! I've been working as a QA tester making 90K for the past year and before this my only work experience was retail

[@ambitiousbeauty1013]

So you took up her program?

[@Fearless634]

@@ambitiousbeauty1013 Yes I did

[@ladymickey6664]

She's amazing☺️💜. I signed up for Road to QA back in January when I was a Case Manager. Now I work as an Enterprise Application Support Specialist.

[@faithingram3333]

so was it worth it Financially? and do you think it's a good investment for a 50yr Young Woman😁

[@sallyho146]

Funny I am a subject matter expert in EHR software. I don’t get paid well. I need to change job. I tested a lot of the reports/applications/procedures. But manual dashboard.

[@devengolar8731]

I am a case manager as well and looking to pivot into QA. I will definitely be checking out her bootcamp

[@ambitiousbeauty1013]

Whats your yearly salary?

[@JONATHANSMITH-it2rr]

This is definitely WORTH IT everyone! Don't be fooled you already have the experience for the role. Just look into it! Tech money hits different.

[@trabucks]

Sounds exciting! Where are you now in your career?

[@FaithEspinoza2u]

Aww. I’m just now watching this video. I’m the student Jen was referring to in this video @ 31:05. She helped changed me life so much. I’ve had 3 offers since my first on in 2022 with a break in between! I’m currently studying for my Sec+ & obtaining my clearance to get into Govtech. Good luck to everyone on this journey 🎉

[@SimplyAdiva]

Excellent program, I put my son in this program. Then, he moved on to software engineering. My friend went through this program, since I kept telling her to try software testing. She was intimidated by tech and changed her mind about doing cybersecurity with me. She loves it, and we do real estate together outside our tech careers. My cousin did Symone's Program, and we are all making money.

[@brebre8383]

Hi does your son have a degree?

[@SimplyAdiva]

@brebre8383 No, he doesn't. I did help both my sons enroll in WGU for this fall.

I’ll be forever grateful for Jenni❤ I’m currently a part of the roadtoqa family. This made me smile because I’m excited about my new upcoming role that I will land as a qa tester ❤

[@KPtheDJ216]

Maaaaan this by far is probably one of the best people you’ve had interviewed.. though I’ve loved everyone.. this one was it. Thank you Beez for all that you do and the gems that you drop. You are definitely a pillar in the culture. Oh, and shoutout to you being reposted on BleacherReport for the Tank tweet.. definitely a dope pic and a good ass fight 💣 🥊

[@FweaGoJit]

Major s/o to Jenny and RTQ! She definitely teaches that you should be familiar with or knowledgeable of different aspects, never “idk”.

[@paulawilliams4443]

RTQer here! I really enjoyed this interview! Thank you ladies so much❤

[@farahchowdhury8653]

Thank you Beez for asking all the RIGHT questions. And thanks a lot to Jennifer for all your honest answers. Unlike others, this interview is truly meant for helping people who wants to be helped.

I loved this interview. Gained my Security + and now trying to find my way. I will check her course out!

[@ralphaelconfer9719]

Symone, know this. You’re not meeting people by chance. He’s giving back to you b/c you’re continuously paying it forward. As you help more soldiers, he’s going to continue to help his ANGEL! 😊 I hope I’m ready to take your course in July..
