Right now OTUS has opened a recruitment for the new stream of the "QA Lead" course . In this regard, Anastasia Sharikova, the course teacher, shared with us her author's article. We give the floor to Anastasia:
Hello! My name is Anastasia Sharikova, I run the testing department at Bookmate and run the Yet another QA telegram channel .
In recent years, more and more people strive to get into IT by any means, and more and more often, when choosing a profession, they stop at the career of a conditional “tester”. As a result, a huge number of “juniors without experience” are pounding the doorstep of large and not so big companies and looking for an answer to the question “how to get to work if experience is needed everywhere?”.
But today I would like to speculate not about how to get a job after all, but what benefits an employer can get from this whole situation and what difficulties he may face if he nevertheless decides to hire a person without experience or a novice specialist. Therefore, the target audience of this article is precisely the leaders and everyone else who is interested in the process and result of hiring.
In addition, I want to stipulate right away that today we will not touch upon philosophical topics in the spirit of “everyone should take Juns / everyone should not / and who are Juniors and what happened to the cozy IT world”, but we will go over the main potential advantages, cons and recommendations.
Who do we consider as beginners? These are Entry Level, that is, those who have no commercial experience at all, and Junior QA.
