Step 3: "What should I do to receive an offer?"
Becoming a QA engineer is not easy — employers don't need “onlookers,” they need skilled workers. That's why it's so difficult to find your first IT job just after listening to online lectures.
Think ahead about how you will gain your first experience so that you don't have to search for your first job forever:
If you are studying independently using the above resources:
→ Start looking for an internship or apprenticeship from the first day of your studies
If you are considering paying for a course:
→ Paying for online lectures or for simple homework checks in the age of ChatGPT is a waste of money. Choose courses that offer maximum hands-on practice with a mentor and an internship so that you come out with the practical skills that employers need.
As a result, you will have a substantial resume with real experience and it will be much easier to get your first IT job.
