A mentor in software testing could help Wambui with a portfolio, interviews and first-job strategy.

I have worked as a call-centre agent for 17 years, and I'm 56. After a health scare, I decided to move into software testing, and I have completed a self-study course with a project portfolio.
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 Mombasa, 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Praying for you, Wambui. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best
Take care. Hope you get there. Love from Sapporo.
Best of luck, Wambui. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Stay strong, Wambui. Small businesses are the heart of Mombasa. Hope you're open again soon. Don't give up
Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 4 people at work. All the best.
