Thank you for your help , Also share a little learning experience and growth experience .

On the difference between Ye Luzi and Keban learning

As soon as I graduated from University, I entered a small Internet company that had not yet started .5 In the past five years, I have worked in many different projects . Now recall this 5 year , Really wasted too much youth .

The turning point is the annual meeting of a certain year , The company's business has some scale , At that time, the boss talked to me sincerely , Let me think about the current testing technology , Improve the testing quality of the company , Such a conversation completely changed my career trajectory in the future . During that time, I studied like crazy , After reading some articles on the Internet , take UTF Used in projects , That sense of achievement made me decide to continue to cultivate on the road of test and development .

After tasting the sense of achievement brought by tools for the first time , I began to get lost , I don't know what is useful . and UTF It is also an old cracked version , Many functions are incompatible . I also found some open source frameworks on the Internet, such as Selenium etc. , Also follow the code of fragments in various forums , Little progress has been made , Cannot be used in specific projects .

Until one day I saw teacher Sihan's open class in Tencent class , After listening to it, my eyes brighten , Then we added wechat of course consultants .

During that time, whenever there were open classes of the society , Or a very cheap class , I will sign up at the first time . This state lasted for a year , In this year , My testing skills have improved a lot , Especially after listening to teacher Sihan's in-depth analysis in an offline salon PO frame , It's a good harvest . I looked back and forth carefully in that class 3 All over , It's really “ search ” Understand this theory , Combined with the project of our company, we have built a complete automation framework . It is after this experience , I realized the great difference between systematic learning and unofficial learning .

The more you learn, the more , Also broadened their horizons , At the same time, I found that many companies outside recruit high salaries for automated testing , Such attractive conditions made me want to change jobs .20 At the end of the year, I made the most worthwhile decision ： Signed up for Hogwarts' test class .

At that time, my wife couldn't understand the meaning of spending so much money , And quarreled with me , I said, ： I'll prove it a year later . After entering the class, the systematic study made me sum up all the scattered and one-sided knowledge in recent years , I also learned all the technical points of test opening with the syllabus of teaching . 21 At the beginning of , First job hopping , Pay from 8k rose 18k , This result also convinced my wife . In the following year , I used all the knowledge taught by the college in the company project , And implemented a lot of Automation , Performance and other items , Many tools have also been developed , Recognized by the leaders , At the same time, I didn't lose my study , At least half an hour of study time will be reserved every day , Check and make up some technical weaknesses . This year, I happened to encounter another good opportunity , Another job hopping , Pay directly doubled , In third tier cities , Such salary is approaching the ceiling .

In this way, you can get twice the result with half the effort

I have always adhered to the idea that ： Interest is the best teacher . If you are not too interested in test drive , Or just to learn some skills and earn some money , This state will last for a long time . During my time in College , Except for the days of class , I draw out every day 2 Watch the previous video repeatedly in the study for hours , The book issued by the college I 1 Brush it all within a week , Each knowledge point is labeled , I'm sleepy at night and keep listening 「Something Just Like This」 Come and beat chicken blood .

in addition , Practice after learning is very important , In addition to following the teacher to write out what he said , We should also think about whether we can improve and improve , Only in this way can you form your own unique knowledge points , That's the real value ！

Sum up , When learning, you should brush the video repeatedly , Be sure to understand why the teacher wrote this code ？ If you don't understand something, you have to figure it out ; Real knowledge comes from practice , No practice , What you learn is always castles in the air .

The interview experience

There are many real questions about the interview in the College , I basically painted it once , Including interview skills and so on , They all speak very well . Let me talk about my experience here :

• Be sure to memorize the eight part essay , There are all interview stickers in the College , There is no shortcut. , Just brush

• The Internet , Interface related interview questions （ Cooked back ）

• Commonly used SQL grammar （ Cooked back ）

• Shell grammar （ I have learned thoroughly what teacher Sihan taught , That's enough ）

• PO Architecture theory , There must be project practice （ Can build independently from scratch , Keep in mind , At the same time, understand why this design ）

• Testing tools ：Postman,Fiddler,Mitmproxy,Charles（ You must have experience , Ask often ）

• Performance related knowledge points , If you don't have project practice or shallow contact, don't write it in your resume , When you meet a technical expert , Will ask very deep , It's easy to reveal .

• Python Solid foundation , You can't just write Demo, Learn more about decorator functions , Closure function , Data type differences , Higher order function , Recursive functions, etc , It works Python Brush algorithm questions

• Jenkins Have project practice , You can't only have self-study experience , Some pits are derived from practice

• pluses ：Redis,Mq,Docker,K8s,Vue,Django,Flask,Java,Spring Boot theory , These bonus items do not have to be , But if you do, you are better than others

in addition , I also work as an interviewer of the company , Also some experience , All the questions of the interviewer 80% From your resume , The rest 20% It is the need of expansion or position, but you haven't written it . What skills and tools have you written in your resume , The interviewer will test your relevant knowledge points .

Met a lot of people , It says to master Python,Java It turned out that I didn't use it for a long time , I have forgotten , This will make the interviewer's first impression worse . The interviewer will ask from simple to profound according to what you write , Don't worry if you ask no , There is always something you can't do , Don't be nervous in this situation , You can answer from the side ： I'm not sure here , But I am xxx I know better , such as … This will not only avoid the embarrassment of the interview , It can also let the interviewer know more about you .

in addition , Many people mention automation in their resumes , When asked about the specific architecture , It is said that I am only responsible for writing use case scripts , The architecture is built by others , This will make the interviewer feel that your automation skills are not deep . So usually no matter whether there is an automation framework in the project , Learn to build a set by yourself , When you finish it , You can understand more deeply .

Here is a summary 3 spot ：

1. The college has a wide range of knowledge , But whether you can enter a big factory or a small factory depends on your proficiency .

2. practice , practice , practice ！ Knock on the blackboard and say something important 3 All over . Only learn not practice , It's a castle in the air , Eye candy .

3. Interview skills are important , Resume is more important , A good resume will make you stand out , Direct bonus .
