In an era where technology touches almost every aspect of our lives, the idea of using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to write a memoir might seem like a natural progression. But beyond just a tool for writing, AI has the potential to become a catalyst for profound self-improvement. How, you might ask? Let’s delve into the transformative power of AI in the realm of personal narratives and growth. A New Lens on Life Stories At its core, AI is a reservoir of collective human knowledge and experiences, trained to understand and process information in ways that mimic human thought. When it comes to writing a memoir, this technology offers a unique perspective, one that highlights our personal achievements while also identifying areas ripe for growth. This dual focus provides a balanced view of our lives, encouraging a holistic reflection on our experiences. However, it’s important to acknowledge that the insights provided…

As writers, many of us are intimately familiar with the siren call of perfectionism. It…
So, you’re thinking about writing your memoir. Congratulations! You’re about to embark on the world’s…
It is not easy to find qualified personnel in any country. As QA Engineer role (as well as other roles in IT world) is not only a certain list of technical skills, but also the ability to research, pick out the main things (as testing is endless) when validating the application and – what is most important – to walk in end-user’s shoes. What seems to be important to you, doesn’t always mean the same thing important for your end-user. And I wouldn’t say that this process is somehow different in Canada.
At that particular moment, Electronic Arts were looking for entry-level testers for their night shift. This went together nicely with my university schedule, so I went for it. The only experience I had was the years of gaming that I spent growing up. The only things that helped me were my communication skills and the diligence that I showed; the geology and business management studies I had were useless.
Yes, I do see a difference between technical recruitment in the Czech Republic and Canada. The first difference is the lack of talent in general in the Czech Republic. Canada has a much bigger pool and many companies are also open to employing remote engineers or relocating them to Canada. The immigration system is very supportive and inviting. That does not mean it is easier to find people in Canada. It is definitely not.
As a software tester you need to have at least a basic understanding of how computers/servers/browsers/app etc. communicate with each other. Mainly, how is it possible that you can get information saved in one place visible in a different place?
The German market is different from other markets. The interview process is lengthy and sometimes it takes 6 months from screening candidate to joining candidate. QA Engineers are not easily available and if there are any QA profiles available, the skill set does not match.
If you compare software testing to art, it is hard to imagine what a Software Tester portfolio can look like. Software testing is the process where you ensure that the final product meets all user’s/business/legal requirements while being fully functional. How do you showcase a process? And if you are changing your career to tech from a completely different industry, how do you even make a portfolio of a process you have never done?!?
I don’t know whether it’s hard to find quality QA Engineers or whether as a hiring manager we don’t know what we are looking for. Whether that be creating the right job specification or advertising the role to the right people. The role is so diverse and has so many different approaches, each organisation does things slightly differently. So I think finding someone with the same experiences and has the right approach can be very difficult.
