[kolimbetv]

Hi, my name is Valeriia. I live in Toronto, Canada for about 7 years. Back in Ukraine I graduated from the University and got bachelor degree in accounting and audit. Shortly after graduation I decided to change my life. I went to Australia where I lived for 2 years. I have worked as a management trainee at the front desk in an amazing heritage hotel in the Blue Mountains. I truly enjoyed working in a hotel industry so I decided to study hospitality in a college. This decision took me to Canada where I graduated from Seneca College where I studied Operations Management in Hospitality and Business Development. During this time, I worked as Manager in a Restaurant for 2 years. After graduation I got a job in the Hyatt Hotel. Worked there for a year. During Covid, life changed dramatically and I became a truck driver. My husband and I worked in a team for a little more than a year. Last 1,5 year I’ve been on maternity leave. This time off gave me an opportunity to really think of what I want and where I see myself in the future. And here I am, taking a course in QA.

[Maksim Melamed]

Dear HR Representative,

My name is Maksim Melamed, and I recently became a permanent resident of the US. I moved here from Israel, where I earned a Bachelor's degree in Radiologic Technology and built my career as a Radiology Technologist at the Tel Aviv Medical Center. During my time there, I gained invaluable experience working effectively in high-pressure situations and developed a keen eye for detail.

My previous profession and work in the hospital were emotionally exhausting, and I knew that a career change was inevitable. However, I couldn't quite figure out the right path for me.

Moving to the US presented an opportunity for me to explore new options, and I found myself drawn to the dynamic culture of Silicon Valley and the IT industry. I began learning more about it, including self-studying Java programming. This led me to enroll in a Full Stack Developer Bootcamp to gain a deeper understanding of the field and determine which profession would be the best fit for me.

After a while, I needed a steady income, and I was hired by the local company Accenture on a project with Meta, where I worked as a Trust & Safety Associate and learned a lot about the workflows of two IT companies simultaneously. Among other duties in that role, I provided quality assurance and improved machine classifiers to ensure platform safety for all audiences and cross-functional teams. These skills are highly valuable in software testing.

As of today, I have firmly decided on my future profession, in which I can best apply my personal qualities and professional skills. Currently, I am enrolled in a Software QA Training program at the Portnov Computer School. I envision my future and career growth in this field.

Based on my experience as a Radiology Technologist and Trust & Safety Associate, as well as my attention to detail, developed critical thinking skills, patience, and meticulous work habits, I am confident that I am well-suited for a career in software QA testing.

I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to apply my existing skills and acquire new ones in this field. I am confident that my background and abilities will enable me to excel in this new beginning.

Sincerely,
Maksim Melamed
