Looking for a software testing mentor: Gerald's career change at 35
Seeking an experienced software testing professional for guidance on the transition from security guard.
🇵🇭 Philippines265 views
I have worked as a security guard for 14 years, and I'm 35. After being laid off, 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 CV and LinkedIn profile, a realistic view of the job market in Metro Manila, and a sounding board when things feel overwhelming.
I'm hoping for one 45-minute video call a month for four 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.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Taguig.

So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
