How do I get a Quality Assurance job with only 24 hours of college?
Asked by James W.
I have been trying to get into a job in Quality Assurance/ Policy Compliance since I left the Army in 2003. I have 18 months experience of call center QA from my current job. My company is laying everyone off where I work. I have an offer from a company that does similar work, but there is no guarantee I will get experience in Quality Assurance, and it is a very boring job to me. I just wanted to know the possibility of getting a QA job with the college and experience I have and , if so, what type of QA would hire someone like me (Industrial, Technical, etc.)?

Best Answer:
First all job experience counts as good. Not working doesn't do a thing for you. If you want to make big money doing something exciting and not call centering for QA, you need to have an education or at lest lots of recent relevant experience in the field. I would go to a place that you'd like to work and talk to their people and find out what they want and require. It really is as simple as asking and then doing what it takes while you work at the job you don't really like. You have to walk before you run and you have to have what it takes to ask for what you want...how to get it and then take action. You need to ask several companies or call people that are doing the job you want to do. Act interested, not like you want their job...they may not help you then. lol. Good luck.
