Hi ,

I just wanted to share some of the positive things which helped shape my Career.
There was a time when I was working as a junior lab admin & was struggling to change Job. I wanted to shift job as my initial salary was less. I tried, tried with the minimal windows admin knowledge I had but I failed to get interview calls.I also failed to impress the few interviews I got since they expected someone with
more advanced knowledge.

So I started searching for a Technology which is hot in demand & gets more security for my Career.

Then I came across this video which I will share at the end of this email. This Video really changed the course of my Career. The Video was about Vmware Virtualization Technology. Its a video called VI3 demo (Vmware Infrastructure 3). The video had a guy explaining very fast some major features of Vmware enterprise virtualization product suite. He covered so many technical explanations about the product feature in so little time that I had to see it 3 to 4 times to understand the whole video.

I saw the video again & again 3 to 5 more times ( in total 10 times I saw this video ). Perfected the way he explained about Vmware features like Vmotion,HA,DRS,advantages of a Virtual Machine etc. Then I learned quite more about Vmware Virtualization with guidance of some of my friends who were working in the same technology. I mentioned about VMware Virtualization technology exposure & VI3 features awareness in my resume , updated my resume & posted on all major job portals.

The immediate next interview I got was focussed on VI3(Vmware Infrastructure) I was able to clear the initial telephonic round with a lot of tech stuff I learned in this video as well as some of the docs from Vmware company. The next rounds had some gap so I studied, practiced worked on lab which a friend had setup at his home with just 1 ESX host & software iSCSI storage. Then the day of the technical face to face interviews came & I was confident. Though I could not answer all 100% of the questions the interviewers asked I was able to answer almost 65% also considering my enthusiasm to get into Virtualization & me talking so fluently about how our company was thinking of implementing VI3 due to its obvious advantages I got my job offer.

Yes that video inspired me to take more action & did change the course of my Career. I got into Virtualization job & that changed my life a lot. They pay & benefits package was better than previous job, I also got more data center, hardware, storage, networking exposure than I had before. I also got some good hikes due to my performance. It was like a dream come true since the job was like recession proof considering the advantages of the VI3 technology.

Here is the video which changed my Career for Better

http://www.softwaretestingcareer.com/blog/this-video-changed-the-course-of-my-career-helped-me-get-a-better-job

or visit http://www.softwaretestingcareer.com/blog the video is in the top posted article on this blog.

I dont think the video is great its just that I personally took inspiration from the Video , more interest in Virtualization technology due to the video & put time, effort,followed up to get the job in Virtualization. Just seeing the video & taking no action will never get us anywhere.

So for the critics I would say this Video is nothing great but it did make a difference in my life.

Im glad I got involved in Virtualization & later Storage & Software Testing domains. They all were exciting as well as rewarding.

Now Im planning to do a Paid training on Vmware VI3 (Virtual Infrastructure 3). Since VI3 requires dedicated effort I just want the serious people. If you are serious about learning VI3 in a paid training do email me & let me know your queries – email roger.smithson10@gmail.com or email info@SoftwareTestingCareer.Com

I dont push people to get involved in a paid training if they are lazy & if they are in a dream world expecting quick results with no effort. VI3 requires lots of learning,time,effort & hardship. If you are ready for it. I can teach you VI3 online.Also DONT think that it gets job in a jiffy. You got to be perfect in the technology as well as take time to go through the slow hiring process in present times. But Server consolidation using Vmware Virtualization knowledges has some advantages even in recession. Do reach out to me only if you are serious about learning more on Server Virtualization.

1. Manual Software testing is not hard to learn so make sure to spend time to perfect foundation & you got to read the theory & understand them, be able to relate to them & explain if required.

2. Imagine if you get hired by HP to test their latest network product, or you got hired by Microsoft to test their forthcoming Operating system how would you cope with the expectations of such a job.

3. Get serious about your preparation & efforts now ’cause we strongly feel you will get job in Software soon, its just that once you get a job if you dont meet their expectations it wont be good at all.

Warning: Lot of people we shared this info with said – they know about it already but when we confronted them on have they implemented it, more than 80% said they were too busy or too lazy to take action on these steps even though they are well aware of it. This email is not to give you a preaching, this email is just to share what most of us fear about & if only we overcome those fears, laziness,procrastination(attitude to constantly postpone) we may very well achieve the best of results.

So this is just a friendly reminder of essential steps you gotta take when you have next interview scheduled .

I know most of you dont worry about Job Interviews, you guys dont take too much headache when preparing resume. You may be very organized, disciplined & successful kind of guys or girls.

I was not like that & I know there are some for whom the whole Job interview process itself is a painful experience which they have no other go but to experience.

So here are few tips I got from others which indeed helped me to do what was the right thing to do to get Better paying jobs.

Solution was : imagine all the benefits You get if you cleared all the interview rounds & won this Job offer. It could make a big difference in the salary you take home, in your Life style , in the kind of respect you get socially. Getting a good paying job in a good company changes an individual’s life. So its worth all the pain & all the burden of preparation. You can spend 10 minutes or more to write a small list of all the cool things you get if you can win the job & get a good compensation package.

So lets throw away those excuses & take the steps to get things done.

Having years of experience of working on real software projects definitely matters but people ignore the fact that it is not just the experience but the interest in preparing well for their interview which can guarantee them a software job.
what many normally do if they have an interview scheduled.
They just try to revise on their resume.
They will try to prepare on the projects They put in their resume.
They will do some online research about the job opening.
They will try to know more about the company.
They will again take time to revise their resume, they may spend some time to learn about the topics,the topics which are mentioned in the job description

most of the time people don’t do anything apart from these above-mentioned activities but they ignore the fact that an interview is a golden opportunity. Lots of people struggle just to get the resume shortlisted for an interview. In this recession it is not being easy to get an interview opportunity so when you get an interview from a company which is willing to hire for a good position you must take it very seriously.you must put all the time and also the efforts possible from your side.don’t try to come up with excuses. You need to spend time on what is the most important thing

Some people don’t spend any time to even improvise their resume some even neglect to see once more what has been updated in in their CV. Many people don’t update their resume at all.they are too lazy and they just forward the old resume to any new openings.if someone asked them to spend time to work on the resume they always try to come up with excuses to avoid that . If somebody is really finding it hard to spend time to work on the resume they must definitely take some additional support or external support from others to make improvements to their resume.most of the times it is the resume that gets the interview.

If you’re resume is not good enough then the chances of you being shortlisted for an interview is rare.

Job seekers these days are smart but lazy. They feel they know all the steps They feel they know everything about every other thing. They know how to get job but they are not getting job & they have lots of others to blame for that.

Anyway for those who are interested to know a Tip about not repeating mistakes in Software Job Interview Preparation here is a video. Yes a video which talks about some simple steps which many may think they know about but always ignore to take action on. So go & watch this video to see if you are NOT doing this same mistake when preparing for your next interview.

the Video is on this site now http://www.SoftwaretestingCareer.com Its on the homepage which we’ve updated recenly & this video autoplays as soon
as you visit the site. It may need few minutes to buffer & load.

Software Career Tips Live Webinar
Support Team

Yes we’ve been doing lots of Live online training on Software testing. Read below to find more.

Our team did a Live Online seminar or webinar on Software Career. They covered
topics like “Tips for preparing for a Technical Interview”
“Career opportunities in Software Testing” ,
“Best ways to answer Software Testing Interview Questions with an example of
20 Interview Questions with answers”

So after doing several Live Webinars here is the overall experience.
Doing a Live Webinar definitely requires preparation. Live webinar for people
who are not aware of is like a Live Seminar just that people login on internet/online
some people can use telephone to login too. No matter how people login they all
participate on this Online Live Seminar. Those who login using internet have an
advantage over the ones logged in using telephone, which is the ones on computer
get to see the presentation along with hearing the audio.

So for the 1st Live Webnar on “Career Opportunities in Sw Testing” nearly
300 people registered . These webinars were hosting using Gotowebinar so
interested people first register & then they get an email with a link
which if they click at the time of the webinar they can Login & participate
in the webinar.
So out of 300 people who registered only 40 people actually logged in & participated
in the live webinar. Our team did not get an idea like why so many missed attending
the Live webinar. It may be because this one was done on a Sunday was the most
consoling answer my team got.

Those who want to listen to this can check out softwarejobsvideos.com/webinar2/
to see a replay of this webinar.

Then this team did another Live Webinar covering “20 Interview Questions with answers
on Software Testing” which nearly 400+ people registered out of which only 20+ turned up.
This was a little more shocking ’cause the topic was of soo much interest to soo many.

Those who want to listen to this can check out softwarejobsvideos.com/webinar1/
to see a replay of this webinar.

The reason why very few logged in live may be ’cause the time of webinar was not
suitable to many people & the day being a thursday evening many people were busy with
their work.

So my team is planning to do some crazy thing this time. They are planning to do
a 6 hour marathon(lengthy) seminar on “Software Testing, Software Career Tips,
Interview Preparation tips all combined”

Registration Web Link: https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/150047865

This webinar DOES NOT COST you anything, its FREE to join.

Above is the link to register for this 6 hour lengthy webinar on Tech,Career stuff.
Whats the reason they want to do a 6 hour webinar – to accomodate people from different
time zones to login at a convenient time & to get real valuable info. To help those
people who get reminded about the webinar only after it got ended that this is not a
1 or 2 hour webinar to end so early so you still can login & listen however long it
is fine for you to listen. Definitely since they are going to cover lots of technical
stuff related to Software interview preparation, Software project process & things like that
you may NOT to want to miss this.

Take note video replay of this 6 hour webinar will not be made available to general public.
So make sure you attend the live webinar without fail.

Atleast this time around my time aims to see 60% of those who register to attend this
Live Webinar event. Please dont feel bad if you get lots of reminder emails about
attending this webinar once you register. Its just that when someone is providing
6 hours of valuable information to help your Career it just benefits if you take time
to login & listen.

let us see how many people will login to this online event.
We will keep you informed for sure.

Thanks for reading this lengthy email. Detailed info if we want to share
takes more sentences sorry.

Hope to see you logged in live on the webinar
