With the continuous development of the Internet, the trend of the times is changing.
On the last day of school, freshman Xiao Li carried his suitcase and embarked on the journey to the big city. After graduating from Erben, he dreamed of entering a big factory one day. The internship experience can't even pass the resume level, so he plans to work in other companies for a few years first, and then go to a large factory after he has work experience.
Xiao Wang, who also worked hard in first-tier cities for five years, switched careers and became a programmer three years ago. After struggling with several Internet companies, he finally became a member of a large factory this year after going through layers of interviews. Recalling the experience of "entering the factory", Xiao Wang felt that it was a thrilling jump, but the moment it was actually completed, he didn't panic so much.
In recent years, big factories and civil servants have become the workplace holy places that young people flock to. The former is because of high salaries, while the latter is because of its stability.
But for those who change careers halfway, whether they are big factories or civil servants, it is a little difficult, and they will doubt whether they can do this. Faced with this problem, it is actually for testers who change careers halfway. If you do a good job in improving your own hard and soft strength, you will actually have a certain opportunity to enter a big factory.
After all, only those who are prepared with both soft and hard power will have more hope of succeeding when the opportunity comes. Friends who plan to switch careers for testing, prepare these two things in advance, and you will be one step closer to the offer from the big factory.
// Learn the basics of testing and prepare for hard power
Presumably, those who plan to switch to software testing will consider the difficulty of employment.
Especially this year, the general environment is not good. Many recruiting companies have reduced their recruitment needs. In addition to the huge competitive pressure caused by the huge job-seeking group, many small partners can’t help but ask: In 2023, zero-based software testing engineer, " Is the probability of "breaking the ice" high?
First of all, I want to give everyone a reassurance, that is: in 2023, the probability of success is still very high if you switch to a software testing engineer with zero foundation.
Why do you say that? It is mainly determined by the status quo of the software testing industry.
On the one hand, the position of software testing is a just-needed position in the IT industry. It is in the industry bonus period and there is a huge talent gap . At present, more and more companies attach importance to software testing, and the demand for recruitment is increasing. At the same time, because the software testing industry started late in my country, the supply of professional talents is seriously insufficient.
According to industry statistics, there are currently three to four million employees in domestic IT technical positions, of which there is a gap of at least 300,000 software testing talents, and this number will continue to increase in the next 5-10 years. For newcomers in the workplace and career changers, this is undoubtedly an excellent time to enter the software testing industry.
On the other hand, the software testing industry is a branch of the IT industry, and the salary is generous. Due to the late development of software testing in China, there are currently a large number of job vacancies, especially for some senior software testing engineers. If you look at the recruitment platform, you will find that the salary given by the company is still very impressive.
In addition, by checking the recruitment requirements of major recruitment websites, it can be seen that companies often have fewer restrictions on junior software testing posts, and there are few "professional restrictions" and "experience years". From this point, it can also be seen that if you can master certain testing skills and have technical capabilities, you can find jobs related to software testing.
To sum up, as long as your foundation is solid enough, it is not that difficult to become a member of the software testing field. For some small partners, there may still be a certain distance from entering a large factory. The best way is to accumulate experience from now on, lay a solid foundation step by step, and improve our technical level.
// Be patient, improve your comprehensive ability, and prepare for soft power
In addition to learning the technical foundation well, the improvement of personal comprehensive ability is also essential.
Especially fresh graduates entering the workplace for the first time, or professionals with less than 3 years of working experience, should do a good job in improving their soft power before switching to testing work.
For example, interview etiquette, communication skills, logical thinking, etc. Partners, don't underestimate these. Many people often ignore these details, which leads to missing the business opportunities they fancy. In this case, it is really a pity.
Finally, I wish every small partner who is actively preparing for the goal can find the ideal job~
