Last week I mentioned a This Week in Testing discussion about demonstrating value. And the power of community revealed itself again as on Day 29 of 30 Days of Career Growth I was reminded of an excellent talk by David Williams. I wrote an article inspired by his words: What’s Value Got To Do With It? Three Important Steps To Demonstrate Your Value.
June might be over yet you can still revisit 30 Days of Career Growth anytime. Pick up a day, get involved and share. Congratulations to everyone who participated: Mahathee Dandibhotla, Zenzi Ali, Stuart Machek, Jiri Novacek, Georgios Georgiou, Kate Paulk, Simon Rigler, Yessica Casanova and many more! (sorry if I didn't mention your name here). 🏆
I couldn't get enough of reading this from Stuart: "I also feel less intimidated with my membership within this community, and feel this is far less of a ‘solo’ endeavor than previous." Source: The Club. This is exactly why Ministry of Testing exists. No one should be alone in their career and craft.
📝 🎥 Can you help us expand our curated list of software testing blogs and YouTube channels? Both are jam-packed with incredible community members sharing super helpful content. Yet I have a hunch there's more out there that Ministry of Testing is just not aware of. Send me an email with your recommendations. It'll be great to hear from you. 😀
