Task 3.
Write about your experiences you would bring to testing. I want you to think about where you’ve come from, and how your experiences can help you be a good tester. Focus on your talents and attributes.
My Past Experiences
From primary school, I always wanted to be a teacher, even before I got into music. At the time I wanted to be an English teacher as I had a huge love for reading.
When I went to high school/ college, I got into music, started to learn a variety of musical instruments and decided I wanted to go into education still but in music.
I studied Psychology, Music, and Sociology at College and went on to do a Music Degree whilst working part time as a private instrumental teacher. Finally a year for my PGCE.
I did supply teaching for a while after graduation, and then (after a too long spell in finance, ) started working where I am now.
It is mostly assisting users with our systems, including account problems which stem from incorrect use.
What will I bring to software testing?
