Every job wants someone with experience, but no job wants to take that chance and give you that initial experience. This is the common problem everyone in the tech space faces and becomes a huge barrier.

This article will take you through the steps to land your first big QA role even if you currently have no experience. This will not be an article telling you that you can just magically get a big tech job next week. This is a more realistic approach that you can take to land a QA role.

Part 1 Learn

This part is unavoidable, if you have no knowledge of your job and what you are supposed to be doing, why should anyone hire you? If you have the funds you can try to go to a Bootcamp or similar route. But, if you are disciplined enough, you can learn most of the information on your own using websites such as Udemy, Skillshare, and Upwork. Set aside an hour a day for a couple of weeks.

Study & research the following:

  • Testing Methodology
  • Software Development Life Cycle
  • Software Testing Life Cycle
  • Testing Tools
  • Test Plans, Test Cases, Test Scripts
  • SQL

Part 2 Practice/Start Gaining Experience
