Mentor wanted: moving from taxi driver to software testing
Crystal, a taxi driver, is retraining for software testing and is looking for a mentor for monthly calls over six months.

I have worked as a taxi driver for 14 years, and I'm 55. 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 California, 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.
Glad we found this place.

Thanks for sharing this. Hope the shop reopens soon. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Los Angeles.
Hope you get there. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
