    @yotsuba ...ala akong alam na na hire ng planit directly from pinas...pero may kasama ako sa office na mga galing sa UK....yung case ko.. ni schedule nila ako ng exam kahit na nasa Pinas pa lang ako.. once I arrived in Sydney.. nag exam and panel interview ako on the sam week.. exam is about testing fundamentals.. may 3 tanong na kailangan masagot mo ng tama... once na I mali mo kasi isa doon..fail ka sa exam kahit na tama yung sagot mo sa ibang questions.. once mag ok ka sa exam.. panel interview ang kasunod sa mga bossing dito..

    If you're taking the exam.. I suggest you really spend time to review...

    Goodluck..

    @yotsuba good job in passing the exam..for the interview.. both situational/behavioral and technical...yung sa akin dati panel interview..you'll do fine sa technical kasi pasado ka na naman sa exam.. prepare ka na lang sa behavioral.. ex.. baon ka.ng mga project examples to answer generic questions like strenghts and weaknesses just in case matanong..

    para sa NZ ba yung apply mo?

  • multitaskingmultitasking North RydePosts: 544Member
    @gunning4manutd ... it is a combination of mulitple choice and short/essay type questions.. it is not an easy exam.. but if you study ISTQB foundation syllabus.. you should not have difficulty to answer the multiple choice questions..

    Up ko lang po..

    May mga nakapagapply sa software testing bootcamp sa planit?

    Pwede po humingi ng tips sa interviews #2 to #4?

    Ito daw mga stages:

    1. One way video interview
    - 2 questions: Your favorite movie quote and why ? and Why do you want to be a software tester.

    2. a quick 5 mins iView session, a small discussion

    3. 2 hrs information session

    4. 30 mins interview (with presentation daw?)

    Pwede po humingi ng tips sa 2 to 4?

    Yung tip ko sa 1, relax lang, unlimited tries naman yung pag record so pwede niyo ulitin.

    Thanks!


    EDIT: Next batch daw ay sa Melbourne July/August pero tentative pa yung dates

    08-Jan-16: Lodge Date / Visa Type 189
    18-Jan-16: Date CO contacted
    22-Jan-16: Uploaded remaining documents: F80 and PCC
    24-Feb-16: Visa granted (Thank you Lord! Thank you sa mga members ng pinoyau :D)

    Hi! Kakatapos ko lang din ng one-way interview ko last thursday night. Wala pa din ako nakukuhang update if pasado ako for the skype interview.

    Sa tagal ko ng nagwowork at ilang companies na napagdadaanan parang dito ako kinakabhan dahil parang one-shot lang, wala pang kong ISTQB cert.
