Every
day, there are several walk-ins for software testing jobs, in several parts of
the country. These walk-ins promise innumerable opportunities for software
testing job seekers to shine through, but alas, all in vain. Many times, the
simple fact that the testing of software that the company who has called in for
the drive is not your expertise, alone, can make the whole endeavor go waste.
So,
the best way to begin with, when going for any walk-ins, and that of software
testing is to:
Verify the
Authenticity:
Is there a walk-in drive for the software testing or for any other position in
the company? Or is the interview intimation genuine and come from a trustworthy
agency? Do not go on a fool’s errand. Check before going.
Appropriateness of
the Job:
So you have a walk-in in a city for software testing. But does it say the
number of positions or is it appropriate for your profile? There are many
things like experience and salary structure which might not suit you. It is
better to verify these aspects before going.
Go Prepared: If you are an
experienced tester or have a few months of experience in testing, put it all up
in a portfolio. Any special projects, milestones need to be highlighted.
Organize your documents, prepare well for the technical interview and be
prepared for any questions on a professional and personal front.
Make up Your Mind: It is not every day
that you get walk-ins for software
testing. Do not miss the opportunity by not going prepared to accept the
change in roles or shifting of places. Also, prepare in your mind about the
kind of company or role you want, and convey the same to show confidence in
your position.
Many
times, recruitment consultants and companies conduct such walk-ins to
short-list a huge chunk of people to place them in various roles across
industries. It is important, therefore, to go well prepared for all
eventualities, to come out the winner.
