Looking for a software testing mentor: Alejandra's career change at 26
Alejandra, a factory operator, is retraining for software testing and is looking for a mentor for monthly calls over six months.

I have worked as a factory operator for 18 years, and I'm 26. After a health scare, I decided to move into software testing, and I have completed a bootcamp.
What I'm missing is someone who has walked this path: feedback on my capstone project, a realistic view of the job market in New York, and a sounding board when things feel overwhelming.
I'm hoping for one 45-minute video call a month for six months, plus the occasional email question. I'll bring specific questions and I won't waste your time.
All I can offer back is my thanks, and I'll mentor someone else once I'm settled.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

- 45 minutes a month

Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. Thinking of New York.
rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
So sorry you're going through this, Alejandra. Hope the shop reopens soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Good luck. Hope you make a strong comeback. Greetings from Limerick.
