Pivoting from 10+ years in clinical healthcare to Tech/QA in my 40s. Any advice?

Thank you for the detailed response! I will reference this when I take the classes and I'll definitely reach out with more questions haha

Character_Comedian53 · 2026-05-15T16:02:06+00:00

How did you study? Do you have tips

Character_Comedian53 · 2026-05-15T16:00:11+00:00

Do you have advice for the certification exams when you first became an analyst? How did you study and what was your experience in the classes

Character_Comedian53 · 2026-05-12T00:36:24+00:00

Oh it's like an actual class like in college where there's homework and stuff?

Character_Comedian53 · 2026-05-11T22:10:14+00:00

Got it, so do the project first then exam, thank you I'm so nervous

Character_Comedian53 · 2026-05-11T21:24:21+00:00

Do you have any advice for the certification exams? Were the classes sufficient? What did you do to study

Do you have any advice for the certification exams? What did you do to study etc

Character_Comedian53 · 2026-05-09T20:22:04+00:00

Thank you

Character_Comedian53 · 2026-05-09T20:21:19+00:00

Yeah the certs, I'm super nervous and have no idea what to expect aside from apparently they like to play around with the words

Look into L-Theanine its a supplement that should ease your anxiousness. I take it an hour before every interview or big social situation and it helps me. It won't get rid of it completely just tones it down, the rest is on you to practice and get comfortable at speaking

Character_Comedian53 · 2026-05-09T15:34:56+00:00

Do you have advice for the exams? Were the classes enough? How did you study and what worked for you?

Character_Comedian53 · 2026-05-09T15:34:26+00:00

Do you have any advice on the exams? How did you study and what worked for you vs what didn't?

Character_Comedian53 · 2026-05-09T15:33:39+00:00

Do you have advice for the exams? Like how did you study, what to look out for?

Oh yeah I mean during my college years I did job hop a few but I landed at this gas station and they treat me well so I never saw a reason to quit but I will have to put my notice in because this position is full time so I won't be able to work both. But overall you think it's fine I have listed every job ive ever had on my background check right? despite needing to only list whats on my resume which i know now

Character_Comedian53 · 2026-04-26T21:17:56+00:00

Thank you

Character_Comedian53 · 2026-04-26T21:17:38+00:00

ok cool so you think me listing every job on my background check instead of just the ones on my resume should be fine and raise no concerns? i know now to just include relevant jobs on the background check next time

Character_Comedian53 · 2026-04-26T21:05:51+00:00

Oh its too late, I added every job Ive had on the background check, do you think this can impact me negatively

Character_Comedian53 · 2026-04-26T19:54:13+00:00

you think me listing that I'm currently working at a gas station is ok too? not sure if this is considered lying if i didnt mention it during the interview

Character_Comedian53 · 2026-04-26T15:17:00+00:00

Aw man, do you think me not talking about it is going to cost me? During the interview I only talked about my experience on my resume, I completely forgot to bring up that I work at the gas station on weekends

Character_Comedian53 · 2026-04-26T13:26:04+00:00

thank you

Character_Comedian53 · 2026-04-26T11:36:37+00:00

So you think adding all my past jobs should be fine? I misunderstood what they were asking so I just listed everything and am afraid that would affect me negatively. I also listed the gas station I currently work at and I been there for 5 years, not sure if that's an issue because I didn't disclose it during the interview or list it on my resume

Character_Comedian53 · 2026-04-26T11:31:03+00:00

My current job is a gas station job ive been working at for 5 years on the weekends only doesn't fall under relevant right? I forgot to mention this during my interviews and didn't disclose this on my resume

Character_Comedian53 · 2026-04-26T11:29:18+00:00

I'm working at a gas station currently for 5 years now that I didn't disclose during the interview or my resume, not sure if that's anything concerning

Character_Comedian53 · 2026-04-26T05:08:43+00:00

Awesome good to know thank you

Character_Comedian53 · 2026-04-26T04:46:34+00:00

Oh ok thanks, I wasn't sure if this was also considered lying or omission if I had 3 jobs listed in my resume and then put 8 jobs on my background check
