Looking for a software testing mentor: Mai's career change at 48
Mai, a taxi driver, is retraining for software testing and is looking for a mentor for monthly calls over three months.

I have worked as a taxi driver for 18 years, and I'm 48. After being laid off, I decided to move into software testing, and I have completed an online certificate.
What I'm missing is someone who has walked this path: feedback on my resume and portfolio, a realistic view of the job market in Tokyo, and a sounding board when things feel overwhelming.
I'm hoping for one 45-minute video call a month for three 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.
Thank you so much.

Wishing you peace, Mai. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up!
Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Gothenburg.
praying for you, Mai. Hope the shop reopens soon. I hope February is when things finally get easier.
