I haven’t done an online presentation in quite a while now. I’m always happy to share my thoughts on testing with anyone who wants to listen. It was nice to have the opportunity in January to present to a rather large audience on test design as part of a SoftwareTestPro web cast<\/a>, but I enjoy lower key events as well.<\/p>\n

I’m planning a talk on career tips for testers on April 20th. This is a variation of a talk I gave internally at Microsoft a year or so ago, but I’ve discovered since then that the tips are (mostly) relevant to testers outside MS as well. As you may know if you’ve been reading my blog for a while, I’m somewhat passionate about tester career growth \u2013 in many ways because I want testers to grow in skill and experience so we can advance the testing craft much faster in the next ten years than we have the past ten years.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s some more information.<\/p>\n

Ride the Gravy Train and other Career Tips for Testers. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Abstract:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

I\u2019ve collected quite an assortment of interesting (bordering bizarre) career advice over my eighteen years (so far) in testing, and thought it would be fun to share. I\u2019ll share tips on leadership, finding the right work and career growth that (I hope) should be helpful to anyone wanting to grow as a software tester. Some more information on the original presentation can be found here<\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

No RSVP is necessary. Just add the presentation to your calendar<\/a>, and join the meeting<\/a>. You may want to join a few minutes early to make sure everything is working. I\u2019ll plan to start at 10:05 (PDT) to give the procrastinators a chance to join.<\/p>\n

If you have questions you’d like to make sure I address, please post them here. I’m also open for suggestions for future talks if you have ideas or want me to repeat something from a conference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
