The hunt for a new job

Original Date: 10/07/2023 Hello everyone! I wanted to share an update on my job search. It’s been a week since I started looking for new opportunities in QA Automation, and I have filled out over 70 applications so far. While I have been rejected by 8 companies, I am grateful for the one interview that I had. It was a great learning experience, and I am looking forward to more opportunities like this. I have been searching for new jobs from 9-5 every day and practicing coding in C#. I am also excited to share that I have reconnected with the Ministry of Testing community. They are a great resource for software testing professionals like myself, and I am looking forward to learning from them and contributing to the community. I know that job searching can be challenging, but I am staying positive and motivated. I am confident that the right opportunity will come my way soon. If you know of any openings in QA Automation, please let me know. Thank you for your support! #ministryoftesting...
