Success stories of our beets

I studied the QA Manual course at Beetroot Academy, and it was incredible! The theory at the Academy is presented in a structured, concise way, and most importantly, it meets the requirements for vacancies. As for the practical online lessons with the teacher, I was pleasantly surprised. Each lesson, the teacher (Alexey Chistyakov, Senior QA Engineer) conducted a theory quiz, which motivated me to prepare and study materials for each lesson. Lessons with the teacher were built on practice, after each lesson there was a homework assignment, after which I received detailed feedback from the teacher. I would like to thank the Beetroot Academy educational advisers and group coordinators who advised me on the course and supported me throughout my studies! It was also a nice bonus to get advice from the teacher and HR on employment and how to properly prepare a resume. I would also like to note that if you devote enough time to studying, you can really get all the necessary knowledge for your first QA job.

After graduating from a technical university, I worked as an energy manager and had career achievements. However, the coronavirus pandemic has significantly affected the market, and I decided that it was time to make a dream come true, namely, to change the field of activity. I had friends who were IT professionals, their atmosphere of communication, knowledge and thinking seemed to me to be something cool and something that would make me happy. I took a responsible approach to choosing a school. I studied the market of IT schools, read reviews, prepared a table with favourites ones, and, after personal communication with school managers, made an informed decision. I was fortunate to have a teacher, Iryna, who shared her knowledge, and practical experience and invited colleagues to give lectures. All this knowledge then significantly distinguished me from other candidates at interviews, and I had several offers. The self-study approach before class works really cool. Also, the guests invited by the teacher and the analysis of actual cases were helpful, and I later used it many times in my work. Even during the course, I had job interviews. A set of knowledge, good English, an understanding of processes and a demonstration of a completed project during the training helped in finding a job. And I received job offers. In the first month of the full-scale invasion of Russia, I was lucky enough to find my company - the company of my dreams. I have been working as a project manager at Digis for a year and have many exciting projects.
