How to gain experience when nobody wants to hire Juniors?

[conrad.connected (Conrad Braam)]

The ISTQB foundation certificate alone is a great start even if it is just a piece of paper. Automation QA engineers are in short supply, it takes months to fill positions sometimes. I can only guess you want to get your CV reviewed by someone, tweak it and start applying for jobs that will give you that experience. You cannot really study your way into these jobs, you have to network a lot too. Getting your CV out there is the start.

Need Advice Getting A QA Tester Job

Hi everyone, I’m thinking of going into QA since my SWE job search has been less than fruitful unfortunately as I don’t have any previous experience and only a CS degree. What should I focus on doing that I can put on my resume and make myself a strong candidate for a entry level QA tester role? I am in the US if that matters.
