How I actually got started as a QA Engineer with 0 experience

This year I have a different goal on this channel in general to be more real on many things and so I thought what better than to share my actual story of how I got started. This is basically how I started as an intern and grew into QA Engineer/QA Lead. This is my personal story so every person has their own path - drop any questions below + hit the like so the algorithm would love me!
Disclaimer: Let me preface that internships are not free labor - I know that - I was just ready to dive in with no compensation and do whatever it takes. Also it is a big investment from companies side to use their time to teach a noob like me! I was just happy for the opportunity. I am telling this story as my thought process was at the time when I was looking for opportunities! :)
Equipment I use to film:
Camera: amzn.to/3pWIMta
Lens: amzn.to/3BKe7la
Microphone: amzn.to/45coHPF
ND filter: amzn.to/3Wkhp8r
For music I use Epidemic sound: share.epidemicsound.com/5f8d8z

    Hii Elsa! Soo I am about to start my job as a development software tester in E-Mobility. Im quite hyped up about the job but I am worried that the language barrier (I work in Germany) might slow down my learning and networking with colleagues. Do you have any tips or courses that I could go for to cut the learning curve ? Thanks for the amazing videos!

    That’s sooo cool congratulations! Exciting isn’t it? Honestly what I noticed it if you are not shy about it - people around you wont be and it definitely isn’t disturbing to have full on conversations. You will get better the more you do it and don’t let it stop you. I personally like to talk with myself in English out loud, it helps with pronunciation. Be confident and just be yourself. I admire when people even put the effort in knowing they are not native! I think it is impressive! Good luck! 🥳

    For sure to learn from other experienced folks, it will make the road to those skills much shorter! I am working on a course right now and will also provide such a thing to others very soon 😊
