As a newcomer to Australia, I was open to the idea of doing unpaid or paid internships or work experience programs to get 12 weeks of industry experience. I was keen to try and secure employment, so I knew that I had to show some professional industry experience from my industry in testing to prove that I was a good candidate. So, I joined the CSA internship program and explained that I was happy to work on some real-world testing projects even as a volunteer. I was offered a placement in a good tech consulting company as an intern for 12 weeks. The experience was great as I was able to learn new testing automation techniques that really challenged me. Overall, the internship experience was amazing and I highly recommend doing an internship for people needing experience, even paid or unpaid opportunities will give you great experience
