*Sold Out* and Next Cohort Signup

Yo. I didn't think I'd have to send this email for at least a few more days, but here we are. Social QA Bootcamp is full. Sold out. Last seat was taken at 7:06 AM CT today. That said, you better believe I'm already thinking about the relaunch 🔥 If you tried to buy the course after 7:06 AM today, you were met with a waitlist signup page. I just updated it to include information about what's next. ​>>> Sign up for the next cohort​ tldr; I'm adding API test automation and test data management with Playwright Not this month, not even next month or the month after. We're talking April or May 2025 for the relaunch. Haven't nailed down a date yet, because honestly, I'll mostly be focused on helping students and losing weight during the next couple of months. Anything I build is going to be for fun. Just wanted to give you a heads-up, though. Sorry if you didn't make the cut this round, but there will be another chance when the 2nd cohort launches. Til then, you've got my emails and whatever other content I decide to cook up. Cheers, Steven |

Reader, Wow, are we halfway through February already? That was fast. Hope you had a great V Day over the weekend 🫶 Let's talk about another interview I had back in December.This was with a facilities management SaaS company for an SDET role. A friend from a past job referred me, so I thought it would be a walk in the park.(This is a terrible posture to take when getting referred, by the way. Great recruiters often speak with referrals so make sure you educate your candidate on mindset before...
Reader, In Part 1, we talked about Jake, one of the best recruiters I've ever worked with as a candidate. He was great, but ultimately had a "miss" in his hiring practice which cost his team time. Jake spent hours sourcing and interviewing candidates for this role, only to see every finalist rejected because they failed the assessment. At first, Jake thought he was just sourcing the wrong candidates. When we took time to compare the assessment to the actual job requirements, the misalignment...
