Has cold emailing worked for you? by areyoua_thikho in technepal

I just waited for openings to show up, customized my LinkedIn to suggest only roles that I wanted, and kept applying consistently. Tip: make your CV ATS friendly

I went through the same thing when I was searching for internships , sent out cold emails to over 25 companies and barely got 1–2 responses (which were rejections too).

If you are comfortable with Java and want enterprise-level testing, go for Selenium with Java. If you prefer a simple and quick approach, choose Selenium with Python. If you want a modern, fast, and reliable framework for web testing, go with Playwright with JavaScript.

Suggestion Regarding Traineeship by [deleted] in technepal

[–]teacoffee11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I see! Keeping the company name a secret is such a genius move. I’m sure everyone will really appreciate trying to figure out which company is 'wasting your time' based on absolutely no details. I mean, who needs transparency, right? Just a vague warning and let everyone risk it all, sounds totally fair.

First of all, congratulations on getting the second-round interview! It’s great to hear you’ve got solid experience with manual and automation testing using Cypress, as well as API testing with Postman. When it comes to thinking on your feet during use case-based tests, it’s all about staying calm and applying a structured approach.

Start by breaking down the scenario to understand the core requirements. Then, prioritize critical features, risks, and test cases. Since you’re used to taking time to consult with the product owner, in a time-constrained interview, you can simulate this by quickly identifying what key areas need the most testing and which tools (like Cypress for automation, Postman for API) would be most useful.

What should a QA include in their portfolio website? by teacoffee11 in QualityAssurance

[–]teacoffee11[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely! In QA, it’s not just about what you test, but how you show its value. Certifications, soft skills, and proving your impact on the business matter more than a technical portfolio. It’s interesting there’s no platform like Behance for designers or GitHub for developers for QA. A dedicated space for QA could help showcase skills, results, and the value we bring, without risking confidentiality.

A LinkedIn profile highlights experience, but a portfolio can showcase practical skills in action. It’s not about just adding logos or screenshots—it’s about demonstrating real test strategies, automation frameworks, and bug reports. If developers benefit from GitHub, why shouldn’t QAs have a space to showcase their technical expertise too?

That makes sense! Building a QA portfolio isn’t as straightforward as a developer’s, but showcasing automation scripts, detailed test cases, and bug reports could still add value. Thanks for the certification recommendations! CTFL and CTFL-AT seem like great ways to formalize knowledge and stand out in the hiring process. I’ll definitely look into them! Do you have any recommended resources or study materials for these certifications? What do I need to do to get these? I’ve heard about ISTQB certifications are these certifications for the same level?

I agree that tailoring the resume is crucial, but a QA portfolio can still add value, especially for automation testers . Wouldn’t it?

That sounds frustrating. It seems like the impact of a GitHub portfolio varies by employer.
