Edit 5/17/2020

Today is the 13th anniversary of my being diagnosed with Celiac disease. It also happens to be Celiac Awareness Month! I thought I’d revisit this post and update a few things, but it’s mostly the same! Happy reading 😀

Along came a meetup

So I started this thing, called the Mid-Michigan Testers Meet Down. The first event of which was today. We had 43 registered to attend, and about 30 showed up.  HOLY SHIT you guys. That happened. I’m still all “wow”.  No, it wasn’t a huge deal. We had some thoughtful and conversation-evoking lightning talks, we had …

December 8, 2012 by Hilary

Recently, Craig Earl (@beardedtester) posted on Software Testing Club asking “Who Has Inspired You?” (here). My immediate response to this question is Jiro Ono. I learned about Jiro watching a documentary on Netflix called “Jiro Dreams of Sushi”. …

Resume and Interview Protips

October 27, 2012 by Hilary

I’ve had to review a lot of resumes in the past year and a half or so, and have done a lot of phone interviews and more in-person. I’m not a recruiter, I’m not HR, I’m QA. I see the resumes of those applying for QA positions. I see a lot of WTF in…
