A reader asked, ‘I am from India; I did my degree in Computer Science & Engineering can I get software testing job on the basis of ISTQB Foundation Level Certification?

Well, as far as I know Software Testing / Application Testing is integral part of BE / B.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering curriculum across all Engineering Colleges in India. Subject matter also makes part of Diploma in Computer Science & Engineering, BCA, MCA etc. The level of techniques taught and applications / environments worked varied from course to course. If you already have acquired a degree qualification in Computer Science & Engineering or equivalent and passionate about debugging and testing you can apply for a software tester job. 

To become good tester knowledge of debugging is vital; you need to know how to correct a program. When you know how to debug a program together with how to find flaws in it, this helps a lot in climbing the ladder. Some day, from a tester job, you can move to a position to team lead and as high as of web architect.

Nobody teaches how to study? This is why many student lag behind in academics. Be this school teacher, tuition teacher or parents. Problem is those fellows also don't know study tips because nobody teach them either. You can find a trainer for personal development, speech, etc but finding a right teacher is pretty tough. A chemistry expert can not show you ways to study chemical engineering. I have pretty tough experiences during my study years as there was no one to guide me.

He started helping me and improvement was AWESOME. I found, Math was not but teacher.

Job Hunt is highly engaging activity. I remember my days, looking for jobs in newspapers, Times of India, Hindustan Times, Employment News and Internet. Couple of years back from resources was limited for job hunt. Those were the day when we youngsters used to approach seniors asking for job openings. And by chance if someone has informed about an opening / a vacant position, oh wow, he/she was God sent messenger. Same was the true with entrance examinations and university admission. Back then facilities were not online, even paying fees to appear for an entrance examination was full day task, as one need to get a Demand Draft from bank. Scenario has changed now.
