Hi everyone, my name is Laura. 
I am a complete beginner to testing and enjoying the Essentials course so far. A while ago I completed an online bootcamp in web development as I was interested in learning how to build websites, and the languages behind them. I really enjoyed developing new skills and the challenges that came with solo learning! With the current lockdown, I find myself with some free time and ready for a brand new challenge in something completely new to me!
Hi,
My name is bryn.
I have absolutely no background in testing but am looking for a new challenge and have been told my skills might be suited to this type of work.
I’m currently a PE teacher and have been coaching sprinting for over twenty years at my local club in cambridge, uk. Before that I’ve done an awful lot of current things from working in a vault for a bank, pensions company, Motorola, police officer and sports supplement company.
I’m really looking forward to getting a better understanding of the industry and starting out on my new path.
Many thanks
Bryn
Hi Everyone,
My name is Stacey. I am interested in starting a career in QA and I’m looking forward to learning all I can from this course. Glad to be here and I hope you all are safe and healthy.
Hi Everyone, I’m a tech sales guy with experience of having worked for companies like Oracle,IBM, Gartner & Intuit. Having said that, I’ve been thinking of transitioning into software testing for some time now.
I’ve taken some time off to reassess my priorities, on the professional side. My coding knowledge is rusty at best. I am planning to get started with manual testing and then move onto automation testing. I’m excited about what lies ahead and am looking forward to connecting with members of the MoT community!
Hi all
I am looking at starting a career in Software/QA Testing.
Currently I lead a Technical Support Team for a Professional Audio company.
Most of our products are digital and software based, and I am involved in UAT and BETA testing along with gathering feedback from our customers and trying to reproduce issues/bugs that they raise, and feedback to our Software Development team.
I am planning on taking some time out from work to fully immerse myself into learning the new skills I need, starting with this course!
Cheers

Hi Everyone! My name is Jack, I studied Music Production in Leeds and graduated in 2017 and I’ve been working as a Live Sound Engineer/Performer in my native Ireland ever since, but since everything related to music has been put on hold by the pandemic indefinitely I’ve been looking for a more stable career change. I’ve always been interested in Software I thought I’d give this course a go, thanks!
Good day! My name is Johanna South, coming from the beautiful city of Louisville, KY, USA. I’ve been working in QA for the last 14 years but try to learn something new everyday. At the moment I am leading a team of QA folks, focused on testing mobile and web platforms. This has been a great opportunity for me to build on my testing expertise. To ensure constant growth and learning, I author a blog theqaconnection.wordpress.com. The purpose of this blog, and me joining the club here at MoT, is to talk testing, pass along my lessons learned, and learn from others!
Hello there , this is a very nice place you got here , i want to become a tester in some period of time and i think this will be one great experiance for me
Hello! Like others have mentioned, I’m in the middle of a career change complicated by the pandemic. I’m excited to learn more about testing to see if it’s something I’d like to do professionally! Cheers, all.

Hi all,
I’m Jon from Darkest Cheshire
I initially introduced myself in the introductions area back in February, but despite spending the last 4 years creating and running an AMTSO-compliant email filtering product testing service, I didn’t really feel I should join in until I could prove to myself I wasn’t just a lucky amateur muddling through. So, I spent the summer quietly beavering away at the ISTQB Foundation exam, which I passed last Friday.
I’ve been on furlough since April, but I don’t think I’m going back. The next step for me is the Agile extension exam later this year followed by the mobile extension before next Easter, and then back into the jobs market.
Hello all!
I’m Sheila and this week just became a Automation Testing Engineer Apprentice! I’ve spent the last four years as a frumpy first-time mommy, out of work and bored. Before that I was a burnt out hospital doctor… Coming into technology is a big change in direction but I’m excited to learn and build a lasting new career.
I admit I used to think I was allergic to computers but I’ve realised that my allergies was just my brain saying I lack knowledge. I hope to be brave and change lots, get to know the community and this awesome space!
Well done Jon for passing the ISTQB on friday! Good luck with your next steps. I’m rooting for you!
Hi everyone,
My name is ilya, but everyone just calls me Wej.
I was born in Israel and I moved with my parents in Europe when I was 3.
Right now, I’m in Bucharest, since it’s a decent place for tech freelancers.
I also lived in Berlin, hoping to move back there when COVID-19 ends.
I work as a Test Engineer Contractor for a company from Malmö, Sweden.
We do a lot of IoT testing and we also have a web interface.
I love Selenium and I think Cypress is awful.
Oh, and I’m a vegetarian who loves Beyond Burger.
Hello! My name is Valarie and I have been slowly learning how to test as I worked my way up from a customer service role in a small company for a little over five years. I am excited to learn some “proper” testing from the Essentials course!

Welcome each and all recent joiners to the community. I just wanted to share a link to a free online conference from May2020 https://saucecon.com/agenda-2020/. You will have to “register” using an email but the keynote was inspiring and worth just top hear Niloofar Razi Howe talk about HER journey https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvbFr0eSsg8. Wish we could welcome each person no matter where you are in the journey, this is just a start to learning.
