I had a great 30-minute chat about the QA job scene, beginners' situations, and CV tips. The expert was super friendly, with a ton of experience, and shared some seriously valuable advice. Even tips that may seem simple at first glance are actually quite valuable. It's reassuring to hear them from someone who has been in the industry for so long.
