Getting that first job as a Software Tester (or even a new job)is not always that easy. There are two key issues that the job candidate has when applying for a position as a Software Tester.
Certifications
As there is no governing body for Software Testers, the amount of credible qualifications is extremely limited. Sure, there is the widely-known ISTQB certifications, but they are widely regarded as by the testing community as worthless. Recently, we have seen the surge in mobile app development, which has provided the tester with opportunities to learn new skills and achieve the MATA certification (Mobile App Testing Associate). Certifications will show a potential employer your ability to learn, but not much more.
Experience
Many people trying to establish a career in software testing struggle to gain enough experience that they can show in their resume/CV. You cannot expect an employer to choose a candidate with no experience over a candidate who does. The training team at Testing4Success.com researched this issue and come up with a highly effective solution to the problem. The Software Tester’s Career Boost Package. The aim of the package is to provide a tester with experience across a range of key QA areas to enable them to successfully secure a position as a Software Tester. The package is appropriate for both novice and experienced Software Testers who are looking to boost their skills and experience in the field of software quality assurance. It is presented as a series of twenty-four interactive software testing related projects with full tutor guidance and support.
Now a tester who is looking to start a career in software testing can receive the career boost they need. In addition, testers who require further experience can now fill their resume/CV with a wide range of software testing experience. If a candidate can show an employer a combination of experience and certifications, then their chances of employment are increased significantly!
