YOU DIE.

I’m a software tester at the moment, and I live to hate that phrase. And as a programmer, I do my best not to say it, either.

I’ve applied for software QA jobs, don’t even get a bite. When I worked at the DOE National Renewable Energy Lab, I was responsible for writing testing and QA plans for the custom applications we had written in Oracle, training the end users in executing the testing and then auditing the results.

And ALL the small business’ I’ve worked for, I’ve done everything from analyst, design, programming, testing, training and documentation. You would think that would be enough skills for a software QA job… but nope… not a bite.
