Currently in a non related field and want to make the switch. End goal would be something in development, but that is pretty far off. Thus I'm leaning on getting my foot in the door through an entry level testing position as a way to supplement my self learning for the eventual jump.
All relevent jobstreet ads require at least a Cs degree and experience with loads of test software. Even manual tester roles. Nevertheless I still apply to them and as expected no replies.
Am I looking in the wrong place? Or maybe I'm reaching to the wrong people as most jobs are locked behind hr gatekeepers who blindly follow a prereq list of tech buzzwords. Or do I need to go for a cert first? But that wouldn't make sense as certs are designed for those already in the field.
Any guidance from those in the industry would be appreciated.
Software testing roles, That don't require any experience
