Здравствуйте, Михаил Петрович!
Сначала хочу выразить Вам огромную признательность и благодарность за то что Вы делаете! Вы помогаете людям менять жизнь к лучшему!

My name is Denis. I'm 38 years old. I have never worked in the IT field. I tried a lot of different other fields. I found the info about you and your school last year. This class is my second try to study in your school. First one was in march 2023. Unfortunately, at some moment I had to move from Russia, that is the main reason I didn't manage to finish the class on time. I want to change my life and my wife and son lives in the best mode. So I will do my best to finish this class and to get a job ASAP. Thank you in advance

[Zoriana Banakh]

Hello everyone! My name is Zoriana Banakh. I live in the US for the last 15 months, and I am looking for a new path where I will feel comfortable, confident, and interested in. In a last life, I worked as a full-time doctor in a public hospital and a part-time remote medical biller and coder for an American company. Therefore, I know exactly how to manage my time, what it means to be responsible, be able to evaluate the situation correctly, and to find an appropriate solution to the problem as well. Also, I am accurate and paying attention to details. It’s clear to me a tester is a perfect combination of all my skills and a great opportunity to gain new knowledge and experience.

Hi. I'm Marianna, have economic education. I'm here to try and see if I can become a REALLY good software tester. I want my passionate and skills in computer and also my English don’t be wasted. I believe I will be able to develop those skills and knowledge that are needed to be a good tester, especially I'm a fast learner for sure. Certainly, IT field nowadays is the most promising way to achieve your financial goals. I want it and I have faith in myself. So I give myself a try to become better, more creative and happier person. I know it challenging for me, and always there are some obstacles, but I won’t regret choosing this path.

I heard in class that in "tell me about yourself" you don't need a name, personal information. What you need is to tell the employer why I should be hired, as if. practicing communicating.
Soooo, lets practice!

I am writing to express my keen interest in the Software Testing position as advertised. With a solid foundation in software development and a passion for ensuring the highest quality, I am excited about the opportunity to contribute my skills.
My educational background has equipped me with a strong understanding of software engineering principles, and I have honed my analytical and problem-solving skills through practical projects and internships.
Having actively participated in testing processes during my academic projects, I am well-versed in creating test cases, conducting regression testing, and identifying and reporting software defects. I am confident in my ability to ensure the reliability and functionality of software applications.
In addition to my technical skills, I possess excellent communication and collaboration abilities. I believe effective communication is crucial in the testing process to convey issues clearly and work collaboratively with developers to achieve optimal results.
I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to contribute to your team's success and bring a meticulous and detail-oriented approach to software testing. Thank you for considering my application, and I look forward to the possibility of discussing how my skills align with the needs of your organization.

[Marynamchko]

Hello everyone ! My name is Maryna. I have been living in Toronto for almost 11 years by now. After completing the college and receiving degree in educational sector, I begun my teaching career and had been working in school for almost 7 years. Well...I might say teaching is probably rewarding but extremely exhausting job, and after 7 years of working with kids i found myself completely burned out and mentally overwhelmed. A good friend of mine attended this school and was able to receive a good offer soon after she finished this course and I decided to give it a try. Despite the fact that I've never been in IT or close to this field before, I still find myself very capable learner. I believe this course will give me enough knowledge on how to be visible on the job market as well as how to stay efficient once I obtain the job itself.

[Aysu]

I am a supportive and hard-working person.
I am an optimist. When I set a task for myself, I always see them though even if I encounter difficulties. For me, difficulties are part of the process, and they help me get better at solving problems. I believe with the right team and resources, any problem is easy to be solved.
More than anything else, I value integrity and strong character.

I am someone who strongly believes in personal growth and development. And that is why I continue to learn new skills to help me perform at the highest level professionally.I also have several hobbies, most of which I developed by reading books and watching videos. My pursuit of self-development has really helped me become the all-around professional I am today.

[AnnaTS]

My name is Anna and I am 36 years old. I have three diplomas, the superlative of them being a master’s degree in accounting. My career field has primarily been in banking. I started as a retail services manager, and for the last 5 years, I worked as a branch director in one of the largest banks in Ukraine. At the end 2022, I moved to the USA. My friend from the USA, who took QA courses with Mikhail Portnov, recommended this course to me. Since 2020, after the pandemic, I have had dreams of changing my profession to a remote one. In 2021, I had to choose between internet marketing or software testing courses. After choosing internet marketing, I later regretted that I did not choose QA. I still want to master the QA profession, which I didn’t choose before!
