A few more of my posts came out in “Hiring Testers” series in the Community Blog at Software Testing Club.

In “How Come You Are Not Certified?” (the title was a joke, by the way, I do not agree that memorizing definitions out of context can make anybody a better professional – only hands-on experience matters!) I show how easily those keyword-based “hiring techniques” can be gamed, – and what a truly hands-on certification would look like.

In “Testing and Recruitment Parallels” I look from the above at these two activities and draw obvious parallels – about communication, exploration, and learning.
