Internship Update

Unexpectedly I got a phone call this morning from the internship I applies for. They would like to move forward with employment, even though they have not got my test scores back. If I failed they said they would work with me to make sure that I passed, since I need this certification to work for them. I took this as a good sign!

They like me and I made a big impression with them, this is why I believe they want to move forward. They emailed me a background check form that they would like me to get signed and emailed back to them. In the process of all this I got another email with my test score. I knew that I didn't pass the test, but I was actually closer than I thought I would be.

As soon as I realized that I did not pass, I called them back and let them know. They in turn said that they needed to talk to the trainer and they will get back to me later today. Hopefully they will stand by what they said when they called me this morning before they knew my test score.

I have slight test anxiety and I know that this did not help in my testing. Give me a practical test where I have to show you I know what is going on and I will do fine.

If it was meant to be then it will be!

Software Data Analyst Internship

Today I had a industry standard test to become certified for a QA Software Data Analyst. That was the hardest test that I think I have ever taken. I am not good with tests to begin with, but when there is something at stake, it makes it that much harder for me to do. I needed at least a 65% to pass, and I am not sure I even did that. We had 3 days of training for it with 2 days @ 2 hours and the 3rd @ 6 hours. Then another day before the test to study. I did what I did and tried. I will know more by Wednesday. I hope that I will pass so that I can get experience in the field, but really don't know. Maybe I will even surprise myself.
