The candidate must be versatile, knowledgeable, proactive and
productive. But this isn’t enough; we want the best. If you want to
stand out:
* You should be smarter, faster and more knowledgeable than all
your QA friends.
* You should be able to name the top 3 applications used for
source control, task-tracking, automated testing, unit testing,
continuous integration, code metrics, etc. - and then defend
your choices.
* You should grok the Net. Big time.
* Linux should make you smile warmly. Alternately, it should make
you display the smug smirk of superiority.
* Your penchant for detail and precision will border on the
obsessive. You should have perspired uncontrollably when 64 bit
processors became available.
* You prefer to test features in the most impossibly unreasonable
manner. If the developers test with the mouse and keyboard then
you will use a joystick, microphone and serial port.
* The idea of working with a team of developers to create
cutting-edge Internet software should make you unapologetically
giddy.
* Your desire to be the best at what you do should be second only
to your desire to breathe.
* Programming and scripting tasks should not give you tumors.
* A quality focus should run in your family. Your Great Uncle
Noughflote should have been one of the naysayers at the launch
of the Titanic.
* You should be perpetually learning new things because ignorance
gives you indigestion.
* You should be able to defend why Linux is better than Windows.
And vice-versa.
You don't have to satisfy all of the above but you should be close. If
you don't have a Great Uncle Noughflote then you should at least want
one.
