Add to calendar

Far too often in our careers we trust our fate to employers. We attend training and acquire skills needed for our jobs today. Unfortunately, as far too many have learned, careers can be stalled when you don't have the right skill sets. Much of testing’s future requires automation ability beyond the traditional knowledge and experience of many testers. Jared Richardson examines key skills that you need to acquire to future-proof your career and ensure you are ready for the job you want to have. Jared focuses on deliberate learning and intentional experimentation as a solid path to expanding your knowledge base and career opportunities. He shows you what you need to master to become a technical leader in your office and in your field. Jared shares ways to practice, write, speak, and teach about what you've learned. See how you can custom fit a new path into your current job and mold your job into the one you'll want to progress with for years to come.
