Today we are talking to Alexandra, After finishing the Academy, she successfully redirected her career to the IT sector as a Software Tester at Vox Teneo. Find out more in the interview about her and how our Academy found her in the whole process
Hi Alexandra, tell us a little more about yourself?
I would start by saying that I love to travel, eat good food, and I would single out hiking and cycling as my favorite activities. Што се однесува до мојата професионална страна работам како Софтвер Тестер во Vox Teneo Македонија.
You started a career as a Software Tester, what does this opportunity represent for you?
Initially, my goal was to divert to the IT industry, but at the beginning of the academy, and at the beginning of my employment as a software tester, I saw an opportunity for much greater career advancement in this area.
What role did our Academy play in this process?
Thanks to the selected content of the academy, but also to the quality lecturers who gave their best to pay attention to each of us who attended, it laid the foundations for me and prepared me for the Software Tester challenge. In addition, throughout the duration of the academy, I always received feedback on the work done, as well as additional advice not only on the material but also on upcoming employments.
What challenges did you face during the Academy, and what are you facing now?
During the academy, my biggest challenge was to get a job and to put what I learned into practice as soon as possible, while now that that opportunity has been fulfilled, it is a big challenge for me to upgrade my knowledge and redirect myself to automatic testing.
Advice to future Software Testers?
Although at first everything will seem somewhat abstract to you, especially those who had no previous knowledge in this area (like me), do not give up, ask questions, read, learn, work daily on the material and be persistent. For any success you need to make a big effort and maybe at the moment it will seem like you are sacrificing a lot of time, but in the end the goal justifies the means.
