My First Work Week as a QA Tester (again…) | work week in my life vlog

Hi friends! This vlog is a work week in my life as a Software Quality Analyst. I recently started working in QA again after about a six month break, and I'm actually pretty excited to be back! This vlog shows my first week back, working from home, how I stay healthy during the work week, and other odds and ends. I hope you enjoy!

Hi friend! My name is Madeline and I’m a 26 year old who is passionate about intentionally creating a life I love living. I make videos about healthy habits, wellness, and intentional living. Making these videos helps me to appreciate the simple moments in life, and I hope they inspire you to do the same!
FAQ
Did I get a certification/attend a bootcamp for QA?
No, my company hires manual QA as an entry level position and then provides the training.
Do I need to know code?
For my testing specifically, I do not need to know how to write code.
Am I manual or automation QA?

    I also just started a wfh job! I love your tips about staying active, getting out of the house, and staying connected with coworkers it definitely can feel isolating. I started about a week ago…and one coworker in particular always reaches out to me. It makes me feel included & welcomed on the team, so don’t think it’s annoying! If you don’t mind me asking, I’m curious what state you are located in? We seem to be experiencing very different weather😂

    Hi Madeline. I hope you are doing well. It had been quite a long time since I last saw any of your content on your KZread channel. I was actually really pretty busy with my office work, switching companies and other stuff etc..... So, the other day, very recently, I just happened to remember you and I simply thought it's been such a long time, let me just check in case you have uploaded any vlogs, I was under the impression you would be doing pretty well in your graduation course. Then, I saw what exactly happened and trust me, I simply could not believe it. Now, that, you are actually back to doing / working on your previous job, I wish you all the very best Madeline 😊👍 Hopefully you will have a great time and a wonderful experience going ahead 🤞 I really hope that it all works out for you very well, have faith and believe in yourself, I am sure gradually, you will definitely do well. Once again, wish you all the very best Madeline 😊👍 Wish you all the success and you deserve the best 😊 May God bless you
