Hello!
My name's Iryna Ivanova. I am from Ukraine. I have 2 bachelor's degrees: Pedagogical and Financial. My main job was as a sales manager for plastic structures. Thanks to this work, I gained experience in working with a computer and I learned how to negotiate with clients correctly and productively. I came to US 4 years ego. I took an English class and improved it. I have no experience in QA field, but I really want to try myself in this industry. I love finding inconsistencies and solving problems. That's why I decided to take QA course. I found out the Portnov School through You Tube. I collected a lot of information at this school and decide that this is the best option for me.
Thank you.

[Viktoriya N.]

My name is Viktoriya. I’m from Kazakhstan and I’ve been living in the U.S. ( the North Caroline) for 3 months. I have Master's Degree in law, and I've had my experience in law for more than 21 years. I’ve been watching Mr. Portnov videos for more than 4 years but I had doubt about my skills because I’m absolutely a humanitarian and I considered that my previous skills would not be useful and that the Software testing wasn't for me. However after watching a video from James Bach that you recommended, I had up my mind because I comprehended that my skills from law can be really useful in this field. I finally realized from this video that the tester job is to gather evidence and draw inferences and this is really a detective work that I’m really good at. I hope I’ll able to achieve my new goal and become the SoftwareTester. Thank you in advance.

[AndriyKor]

Hello,
My name is Andrii, I'm originally from Ukraine, but moved to Florida 8 years ago.
Before moving to US i had 3 years of university where i studied English language.
For all this time here i been working in hospitality, starting as server/bartender
than as manager of lounge and night club. Looking to switch carrier to QA, because
night time shifts are little to much for me now and IT looks like very prestigious and
"up to date" field. In close future i see myself as "seasoned" tester and hopefully
team leader or manager.

My name is Anna Volf, and I am originally from Russia. I graduated from law school in Russia and hold a bachelor’s degree in law since 2016. Throughout my legal career I developed a strong background in public service and legal counseling.
My husband was selected for the opportunity to apply for a permanent resident visa via the Diversity Visa Program, so we moved to the United States this June. I am now ready to explore new opportunities. Currently, I am taking online classes in Software QA Training at Mikhail Portnov online school and have made significant progress already.
I believe in the efficiency of combining my previous experience in legal practice with QA Engineer work. I am adept at providing accurate guidance, fostering effective communication, and managing repetitive tasks. Additionally, I am dedicated and detail-oriented in all my duties and have a proven ability to thrive within team environments.

[VinenkovaElena]

Hello. My name is Elena. I was born and lived in Belarus, but now I live in Georgia. I previously worked in sales, where I had a successful career. However, this work took up all my time. In May of this year, I found out that I won the DV lottery-2024. Moving to Georgia and winning the DV lottery made me reconsider my career. I used to be interested in the QA field, but I couldn’t find the time to study. In Georgia I have a lot of free time and I can start studying. I hope to make a good career in this direction and benefit people by improving their quality of life.

[nelichmaxim]

My name is Maxim. I was born in Kazakhstan and moved to the US at the age of two. I am 25 now, I was raised in Brooklyn, New York and recently moved down to Florida. I enjoy playing basketball and I love film. I have a problem solving oriented brain and I tend to approach situations as a storyteller. Observe and live in it, briefly, from all angles. Then, lay down your bricks where you determined fit for roads, for others to walk along and enjoy as you did. I believe that anyone can come up with their own beginning and end, but the skill of the writer is his ability to sew a path from point A to point B in a unique and exciting way. I heard about Portnov from my uncle, and I hope that it will bring me towards a career that is both engaging and rewarding.
