Why would you move out of your job? Why would anyone move out of his/her current job? I bet, its not just MONEY all the time. Each one of us wants to be rich, but that does not mean that we would be spending 8-10 hours/day at work just for money without enjoying what we do, without growing in the area of our liking and expertise, without learning new stuff for self improvement etc. All said and done, we still look out for our dream job each time and after we do land up in one such dream job, we finally end up thinking this is not THE JOB FOR ME.
Coming to the point. Pradeep Soundararajan is writing a book on ‘Interviews and Jobs'. Would you be interested? Why would you not be interested? If you still plan to attend interviews in each of your dream companies and figure out what works in each company and how to get a job there, then nobody is gonna stop you. But do you have the time that it demands? If you don’t, then how about this? Interviews and Jobs. On the website, you will get to see and read cool stuff that might land you in your dream job or atleast give a big nudge towards finding one. Check out the website and provide your feedback. Do read the Teaser of the book. If you want to know more, Check HERE.
It’s Better to Try and Fail Than to Have Never Tried At All.
Happy Reading,

Life is a constant learning experience!
Life is a constant learning experience. The more I learn, the more better I become. I am just back from the Exploratory Testing Workshop conducted by Pradeep Soundararajan. Am I enlightened? Yes. Have I become an Expert Tester after this? NO. Not even a good tester yet(Let me clarify I hold myself in very high self esteem)
This was the first workshop I attended and a workshop in the truest sense( A workshop is a brief intensive course of education for a small group which emphasizes interaction and practical problem solving as per Wiktionary). I had just ONE major takeaway in this workshop. And that was ‘Practice, Practice and More Practice’.
How many of us practice testing? This question appears to challenge human ego. Atleast it does to me. To be honest, how many of us practice testing? We are busy understanding the product/application given to us to test at Work, write test cases, get them reviewed, modify the test cases based on review comments and by the time we come to the actual test execution stage, we are nearing a dangerous thing called ‘Release Deadline’ and then end up doing shabby testing. In the midst of all this, where is the time to practice testing? There is no shortcut to being an expert tester. If you are a tester who has a passion to test until you retire, then Dear Tester - Practice Testing.
I was very impressed by one fellow participants’ overall knowledge. I asked him how he had gained this knowledge. He just looked into my eyes and said ‘Just Look Around’.
Happy Testing,
