Hi, my name is Nancy Shah, I am a Graduate Test Consultant at Avocado. I have a ISQTB tester certification and a year of work experience in the IT industry.  

I decided to pursue my passion in the IT industry because I enjoy working with new technology and learning about the major impacts it has on daily our life. In my previous role I was able to get a little taste for software testing, as I was learning about different software daily.  After a lot of research and hard work, I have found my niche in software testing. There is a lot to look forward to in this new role, as it offers great training and guidance. There are also opportunities to network with people in the industry and working with different clients on their projects.  

 The strengths I bring to this new role is my attention to detail which is crucial as a tester, and my communication skills because it’s important to be clear and precise when communicating with your team and clients. I also have a willingness to learn and a can-do attitude, which encourages constant learning and growth. In the future I’m looking to excel my career as a tester and gain experience and exposure towards software test automation and cloud computing. 

 My advice to any graduates looking for a job at Avocado is, just be yourself, back your knowledge and always ask questions when in doubt, the support and guidance of the Avocado team will allow you to grow and flourish in your industry.  

Hi, my name is Lahari Kalaimalai, I am a Graduate Monitoring Consultant at Avocado, with a Bachelor in ICT, majoring in Cyber Security.

I chose the monitoring career path, as it offers a large amount of hands-on experience with enterprise monitoring tools and new technologies. I’ve always wanted my job to be hands-on, different and to challenge me every day – my experience at Avocado so far fits all of the above! As I begin my career journey at Avocado, I am most excited for the amazing opportunity to develop new skills – while also interacting and networking with the team and clients to build strong relationships.  

My urge to continuously learn and adapt would be my greatest strength. These strengths  assist me in developing an understanding the new environment, systems and tools. I intend to utilise my strengths in my new role to ensure that my work is always delivered with certainty.

In the future I hope to pursue my passion in the cyber security pathway, however, I am open to exploring all opportunities that come my way.  Avocado is a very accommodating company, great team culture who make you feel at ease. If you’re a new graduate interested in building your knowledge and skills in the IT industry, Avocado is the way to go!
