and general knowledge to do ad-hoc testing.Tester with

Answer / jocelyn from cambridge

I was a software engineer in singapore and japan. Before
this job, I was a technical support from dell. I receive a
call from singapore offering a software testing job. They
interviewed me by phone asking investigation questions and
how to solve a problem in a computer software like virus. I
answered them based on my experience as technical support.
i believe they are asking me these to know if I can be
trained to be a professional software tester in their
company since the job of manual testing in their department
is mainly focus on software applications, testing, bug
reporting. I was lucky they saw my profile and passed all
the interview even if i have no software testing experience
before. This is my experience how i was able to get that
job. Reading about being a software tester will be a big
help
