[AHeorhiyeva]

Hello, my name is Anastasiya Heorhiyeva.
have a high school degree and most of my work experience has been in the fast food industry and self-employment.
I originally was planning on making my main source of income from freelance seamstressing however it was not reliable enough.
I decided to go into QA testing because I've already had previous base experience in operating computer and software systems and so it piqued my interest to get more involved in technological work.
Software testing is an important step in making sure a variety of programs work and operate as indented for the developers and the people who will end up using them and so this field seemed the best fit for me.

[Inna S.]

My name is Inna, and I have a degree in Business and AdIministration. For the past 5 years I worked as an accountant in a Logistics Company which taught me to be more responsible,self motivated ,to have excellent organizational skills and ability to prioritize workload.But I didn't feel I had any more opportunity to grow or further my career in the role, so I decided to look for a change. I have very good communication skills, I'm a quick learner and good team player. Why QA? As I know from my friends who already work in this field, that you never get bored,all the time you have new challenges and if working hard you have possibility to grow on your career. I can definitely say that it's something that I want to do in the future. I want to grow higher in my career, collaborate with new people and discovering many new things! In 5 years I believe I can become a good QA manager.

[Espehara]

hi!
My name is Nadia.
I have master degree in Economics.
From graduated I had been working on my specialisation until i began closely work with accounting and love it. In my work I couldn't know more about accounting. So I decided to be auditor. At auditors work I deal with a lot of regulation financial and not financial documentation in the technical companies. however i had an offer from another company in new sphere for me. As I wanted to have an experience in an industrial environment I moved to this company. however it was a difficult decision.
I have known a lot of new information, got new skills at current job. I worked closely to databased system and with IT specialists. however I was not happy. I like work with clear rules, documentations. I had heard about a tester and I thought it is as auditor in IT and I would like it. thus I started to work as an assessor in QA development of IT company. I found bugs and write bugs report for different application from music, shop applications to maps apps it was real inspiring job experience. so I want to work as a real tester. However I had a kid and couldn't work anymore. now I am full of energy to continue my way in QA.
I want to deal with whole testing process and in 5 years be a good in automation testing and lead the process of testing in company.

[Tetiana Naumovych]

Hi, my name is Tetiana.

I got my master's degree in English Language and Literature in Ukraine. Apart from my major, I completed an extra course in English Translation.

After graduation I worked in the Ukraine Sports Federation and a professional sport club as an interpreter/translator. I enjoyed it a lot. But due to my husband's job, which required frequent change of residence, I had to quit. So, I started freelancing as a teacher. Finding and correcting mistakes was my favorite part. However a teaching process itself didn't bring me that much joy.

About a year ago my family and I moved to Silicon Valley, California. I have a lot of friends here working in IT industry. When I found out about QA I realized that it suits me perfectly.I will be able to use my language skills, my analytical and communication skills, and last but not least my craving for finding mistakes and correcting imperfections will be satisfied.

In 5 years I see myself as a reliable and highly professional QA specialist in demand.

[Orezola]

I have an associate’s degree in accounting and an incomplete bachelor’s degree in finance in Russia.


Last few years I worked for big telecommunication companies as a senior accountant in the inventory department in Moscow.

Each company change is always a promotion, new skills, and new computer systems.

That was a great experience. I got to work with great people, who had a lot to teach me about accounting.


In the last company my team developed inventory accounting from scratch in more than 1000 cell phone stores throughout the country.

As a senior accountant, I interacted with other colleagues from control, marketing and information technology departments.

I really learned to listen, communicate and go through the extra mile.


When we developed operating systems for inventory, even then I felt like a tester: I prepared the necessary forms and reports; coordinated with audit and security departments; composed technical tasks for IT department; then I tested and fixed bugs. It looked like “bug’ life cycle”.


Then I took maternity leave. After that I moved to the USA and started a new professional path.

Considering my previous experience as an ‘accountant - tester”, my interest in that, and good feedback from IT colleagues (they always told me: “you would be a good tester”), I decided to start my career path in QA.


I am not just looking for a job, I am changing my profession, changing it consciously.

I have plans to get in-depth experience in manual testing, then learn automatic testing and in 5 next years become the one who makes the difference with a big luggage of skills and experience.
