test engineer Review

in a day to day basis i have multiple things i could be doing from testing defects on a software to writing test scripts so people know what there testing on there tests, another thing we do is a lot of training to make sure we can do all the things needed of us.

we do alot of training on our skills and some that we may already know and ones that are new to us such as problem solving we do a lot of this in our role as we are always trying to test to find defects in code and software's, we also do a lot on communication and how to talk to our customers.

i enjoy my programme a lot as i get to work in the project and also be learning at the same time it is also good because i get to earn money at the same time. i also like all of the team activity's we get to do and how well we work together.

there is so much training and support when joining you feel like you have left your home and stepped straight back into a new home, you get paired up with a buddy to help you with anything you need but you can still ask anyone around you for help too.

well like before i said you get a buddy to help with getting settled and any thing you need or don't understand you can ask said buddy to help you with you also can get help from your managers if your struggling to do a piece of work, there is also a website where you can find all accessible support material.

you meet up with your tutor every month to talk about some work you have prepared but they let you pick what style you want to do it in so lets say you like to talk but your writing isn't as good they let you do a speaking part to make you feel more comfortable.

i feel like some of the stuff i learn on the courses help me because it teaches me programming languages to help me write code and also a big part is the problem solving and we learn a lot about problem solving we also learn a lot about think customer which helps you be more professional.

there are lots of events to get involved with there are support groups such as bame, we also have a lot of lunch sessions to talk to colleges over lunch and also to play games, within our projects we also do stand up sessions which we go over what everyone is thinking an if anyone has any queries

Yes

i feel like i have had an amazing opportunity here at ibm and they have supported me all the way, they are vary flexible with what's going on like if you have a day you just need to be doing aprentaship work then the majority of the time they will allow it.

keep applying and you will get in there is a lot of competition with the matching pool also on the assessment days please talk and interact they aren't just looking at your grade from school they really want to get to know the person behind those grades and what they want to do at the weekends in there free time.
