As a seasoned QA professional who began their journey back in March 2020, I've accumulated a wealth of knowledge that I'm eager to share. By December 2023, I had been in the field for 3 years and 9 months, and it was then that I started mentoring others in the QA community. Now, with almost 4 years and 9 months under my belt, I've been reflecting on my experiences and the insights I've gained from over 40 calls with QA professionals and aspirants worldwide.

The Common Challenge: Landing the Next QA Job

The majority of my mentees, about 80% or more, sought advice on how to secure their next job in QA. Whether they were trying to break into the field or leave an unsatisfactory position, the struggle was real. Recognizing this, I decided to consolidate my job hunting strategies into a resource that could guide others.

Introducing the QA Job Magnet Playbook

I launched the QA Job Magnet playbook in early March 2024. The playbook's success indicates a demand for tailored job hunting advice that goes beyond the generic.

A Different Perspective on Job Hunting

My approach diverges from the norm by incorporating strategies from "money Twitter," a space often overlooked by tech professionals. These entrepreneurial tactics can be powerful in building a personal brand and establishing oneself as an authority in the QA field.

The Six Chapters of Success

The QA Job Magnet playbook comprises six chapters, each focusing on a key aspect of becoming a job magnet:

The Theory of Job Magnetism: Understanding that job applications and interviews are just the tip of the iceberg.
Refining Your Digital Persona: Crafting an online presence that showcases your professional value.
Derisking Yourself: Demonstrating reliability and reducing perceived risks for potential employers.
Building Authority: Establishing yourself as an expert in your field.
Win-Win Networking: Creating mutually beneficial professional relationships.
Breaking the Rules: Employing unconventional tactics to gain an edge in the hiring process.

Each chapter not only explains the concepts but also provides actionable homework to help readers apply these strategies effectively.

Initially, I considered turning the playbook into a high-ticket coaching service, but I realized I needed to build more evidence of my expertise. Now, I'm focused on creating a course that teaches the skills recommended in the playbook.

Not just a strategy, but a lifestyle

The playbook is more than just a guide; it's a workbook and a mini-course that challenges conventional job hunting methods. It's designed to make you forever hirable by encouraging you to become a value creator not only in your job but within the global QA community.

The strategies outlined in the QA Job Magnet playbook are about more than just finding a job; they're about becoming interconnected with decision-makers and building a network that can provide opportunities at any stage of your career. It's a proactive approach to networking that can yield a more extensive network than some who have been in the industry for decades. If you're in the QA field and looking to make your mark, this playbook might just be the game-changer you need.
