I am constantly being denied jobs because im Autistic does this happen to anyone else
At the job cente I was given a personal helper after my diagnosis. Prior to this I had gotten jobs myself. My helper would phone up companies and mention that she was acting on behalf of someone with a disability and the call would never go any further than this
I had that to he helped me get the current job I’m in.
good guy, i hope u thanked him
where what company ?
I have testing experience, from 21-22 years ago, then did a refresher course in testing in 2015.
I might consider returning to that field; if need be.
which GCSE ? may I ask
Okay, I will look into this.
I am studying to get the gcse I did not get in school hoping that with the qualification I can train as something and get a stable job.
you can be. i have a qualification "Foundation in testing" but i was testing years before i got it. I was trained in 4 weeks then straight into a job. It was a government unemployed ( non IT ) graduates scheme.
i think u have to be keen to do it. U have to be able to handle developers and pressure. It can be very boring one minute high pressure next week and you can be treated really badly at times.
I am a manual tester there are now automated testers who use code to test software. They are more in favour at the moment and paid way more. I am lucky I am relatively higly paid for a tester. Manual Testers salary is 18k to 25k automated 35k - 40k developers 40K- 55 K
I worked in finance, but I was let go during the lockdown.
Do you have to be certified to be a bug hunter or can anyone Learn relatively quickly?
I'm looking for work so I'm asking these types of questions to everyone at the moment.
software tester - doing it right now otherwise known as a "bug hunter"
what do u do for a living ?
