I am a QA software tester and do KZbin videos on QA and software testing on my channel, this was mostly all accurate information. Thanks for the video!

Thanks for the support

[@leandroayeras9197]

is it tough to find a QA manual testing job?

[@thetestlead]

Not tough, but becoming more competitive. Jobs may have more requirements because they have more candidates to choose from

Dear Mr.Bailey, Thank you so much for all of the time and effort that you put into your videos. They are extremely helpful and I am truly grateful. I am very enthusiastic about learning to become a QA engineer and have started learning. Before I dive even deeper and spend more time learning I have a very important question that I am hoping that you have time to answer. I'm an American citizen living in Europe. I have a family of 4 and live in a very remote village and the nearest city is 3 hours away. Working remotely, from the start of my potential career, is super vital for me. Not because I just want to hang out at home, but because working away from home would be very difficult. My question "Is it possible for a future entry level QA engineer to get a job remotely?" If you don't think that it is, then what field within IT would you say is my best option? Any advice would be super appreciated. Thanking you very much in advance!!!!! Regards, Fil

[@thetestlead]

Hey, thanks for reaching out and the support! I do think it is possible, but you have to have realistic expectations about pay and the hard work it takes to get your very first job. Your first job may not be ideal, because this is where the most competition is, but once you have your foot in the door can use experience from that job to leverage better opportunities in the future. This goes for QA and any IT job that has remote options.

Where and how can we actually implement/practice our learned skillset. At the moment I've already learnt manual testing but i need to practice what I have learned. Kindly, guide me.

[@thetestlead]

For practice you can go to websites like this academybugs.com/find-bugs/ Do exploratory testing to learn about the website first. Then create a test plan with test cases and execute the test cases. Any bugs you find create bug reports file and document. If you or any of your friends own a website you can practice testing that out even go to local stores in your town and ask to test their website for free so you can gain experience. (Pitch them the pros of having their website tested and user friendly)

[@adriennehayden6834]

Thank you for this valuable information. Do you recommend attaching resume to LinkedIn profile?

Yes, the more information you have on your LinkedIn, the better. Also attach any portfolios that you may have that may also show off your skillset

Im 42 and looking for a career change i was a pastry chef for 23 years have no clue about anything in computing. Im scared but idk if i can do this. Not sure if i am too old to start? i need help a guide in what to do next and which bootcamp should I attend? Would love some guidance 🙏 thank you for this video

[@thetestlead]

Hey, definitely do research before investing any money. Age shouldn’t stop you, companies legally can’t ask your age while interviewing you, and some companies may actually like that you are “older” because you are more likely to stay vs someone who is “younger” and more likely to just be job hopping. You can send me an email and we can talk more about it [e-mail]

[@TheReal_Pim_Tool]

I took a bootcamp a year ago and sadly got discouraged and I gave up looking for a job in QA after two months. The bootcamp I took sold me on big dreams and promises but in the end felt like they railroaded me by continually saying I wasn't doing enough and hung me out to dry. I'm wanting to get back into a tech career now. I would recommend going with the cheapest option something I wish I would have done.

Still lookin no luck after careerist

[@thetestlead]

Hey, how’s your journey been and have they been providing support for you?

[@OusTouray-g5k]

I’ve heard that companies are not hiring manual testers and manual testing is something I’m very interested in doing. Do you think that’s true?

[@thetestlead]

Companies are still hiring, but because the market is getting more saturated the requirements requested from jobs has increased for some companies.

Q: does your book from Amazon help people learn how to be a QA software tester?

Now is a better time than ever. Your background should definitely help you and you can probably use that to leverage you getting a job faster.

[@arcomarco7131]

Manual testing road time frame 12 months? Come on, it's just a fraction of the knowledge required for other positions.

[@thetestlead]

Manual testing is pretty straightforward. I think it’s the easiest way to get into tech. But actually applying and getting a job is going to take time, especially for manual qa(automation gets hired a lot faster). So I just want people having realistic expectations and don’t give up after a month.
