I'm looking for someone who is interested in manual or automated testing, a beginner or intermediate would be fine as I'm unsure how to currently assess myself.

Speaking of assessments, I am working towards passing the ISTQB CTFL within the next month, so hopefully that should show employers that I have a basic level of testing skill. I'd love to work on a project together and put those skills to use.

Mentors! If you're in the QA industry or even if you're interested in connecting people in the field, I'd love to talk more about where I'm at and what I can do to work towards an entry level role efficiently. I'd love any career path advice or suggestions/recommendations -- if you can also help with networking and the job search, I think that would be ideal, but I'll take what I can get as I'm asking for a lot already.
