**Anne-Marie Charrett - Screw Testing, Let's Talk Quality!**

"Many of us have heard the phrase ‘Quality is a team responsibility’ meaning instead of quality being owned by one person (typically a tester) it’s something that many are responsible for.

But what does the word quality mean for testers, your team and importantly for your stakeholders? Will the role of tester no longer exist? Is quality simply another word for testing, or is there more to Quality than we think?

This talk explores the importance of understanding quality in the context of a contemporary engineering practices such as Extreme Programming, CI/CD and Devops. When quality is owned collectively, it can facilitate testability and shift testing closer to the design process.

Do I believe testers have a place in this future? Absolutely! In fact, I think the role of a tester is needed more now than ever but perhaps not in a way we have traditionally seen our roles.

A must for anyone moving to contemporary engineering approaches!"

**Cerosh Jacob - Mission 53 Days: Navigating the Job Search Journey**

"Mission 53 Days: Navigating the Job Search Journey," outlines a structured approach to job searching over 55 days, divided into three key phases. It begins with the initial phase of broad applications, highlighting the challenges of facing automated rejections and the need to reassess one’s approach.

The second phase focuses on targeted applications and skills refinement, emphasizing the importance of identifying industry trends and dedicating time to upskill in relevant technologies.

The final phase showcases a more relaxed job search experience, with interview offers that align with personal aspirations.

The presentation also discusses practical tools and strategies for enhancing employability, such as networking, maintaining profile visibility on LinkedIn, investing in learning, and seeking mentorship. Additionally, it offers practical ways to support others in their job search, reinforcing the significance of community and adaptability in navigating the journey to employment."
