My greatest achievement is that I'm not afraid to start from scratch. Almost everything I did in my life started from scratch.

I started my career in a big Ukrainian company of home and computer appliances as a sales specialist without any experience in this field, without any knowledge about modern technology, computers, smartphones, tablets. Due to my persistence, hard work, patience, support of colleagues and superiors, I have achieved success in this area. Due to my communicative skills and knowledge, I gained in this position, I was one of the best sales specialists with high personal performance. And my big accomplishment as a sales specialist was that I became a mentor of the new sales specialists. 

One of my most important achievements is that I learned the Italian language from scratch without any help from teachers and without online courses. Having only one book to learn Italian and a dictionary, listening to Italian songs, then communicating with native speakers, I was able to learn Italian and communicate smoothly with foreigners. 3-4 months were enough to fully understand Italians and a little more than six months to speak Italian with confidence. So I have good communication skills in communicating with people of other cultures.

I have a solid knowledge of QA methodologies and approaches, Test Design techniques. I know the ins and outs of  Software Development, SDLC, STLC, Bug Life Cycle. I have practical experience in writing test documentation; experience in manual testing; expertise in identifying and eliminating bugs.
I will fully fulfill myself in the position of QA engineer as I have analytical and logical thinking, ability to concentrate; I am a very responsible person and attentive to details, I am organized and love collaborating with others.
