@Lavonia Joyner-Banks 👏🏽 I like this answer. Focusing on the Design phase shows you’re already thinking ahead — spotting risks early makes testing smarter and prevents bigger issues later.

@Brandon Mccray this is a sharp observation 👏 You’re thinking beyond just “finding bugs” — you’re thinking prevention. When QA is involved during requirements and planning, it shifts the whole dynamic from reactive to proactive. Clarifying acceptance criteria early doesn’t just help testing… it protects timelines, budgets, and team morale. That’s how senior-level QA professionals think. Let me ask you this strategically — how would you communicate that value to a Product Manager or stakeholder who doesn’t see why QA needs to be involved that early? That’s a powerful skill to develop.

@Lavonia Joyner-Banks 💛 welcome to the HPM TechUp family!! I love that you’re making the pivot from construction into tech — that takes courage. And trust me, the discipline, problem-solving, and attention to detail you’ve built? Those transfer directly into QA. Wanting something remote and less physically demanding isn’t starting over — it’s leveling up. You absolutely belong here, and we’re excited to support you on this journey ✨
Weekend study’s
I still learn new things in the QA life. I realized that I didn’t have to learn everything, I just needed enough to get started. Tell me something you learned in your studies this weekend?

💼 You’re Closer Than You Think
Let me remind you of something: You don’t need to be the smartest person in tech. You need to be the most consistent. Most people don’t fail because they can’t learn QA. They fail because they stop halfway. What are you doing today to get you hired in your first TECH role tomorrow?
