Enthusiastic beginner QA tester transitioning from translation and teaching into software testing.
What I'm looking for
I am an enthusiastic beginner in Quality Assurance transitioning into IT and software testing after completing Manual QA training. I bring responsibility, attention to detail, logical thinking, and persistence, and I learn quickly and take ownership of tasks.
With ten years' experience as a translator, interpreter, and English tutor, I have strong communication skills and experience documenting and reporting issues; I have practical experience creating test cases, checklists, and bug reports using tools like JIRA and Trello.
I am seeking a structured environment to gain real project experience, grow from scratch, and build a long-term career in QA, applying my Manual Testing training, understanding of Agile methodologies, and basic SQL knowledge.
