Hi Team
Do you think I will get a job even if I don’t have experience if I did ISTQB foundation.
Regards
ISTQB Guide says
Hi, If you do not have any experience then its even more important to get ISTQB certified.
Having a certification does not guarantee a job however when there are 100s of applications for a job, recruiters give first preference to those who are certified since the recruiting team, interview panel, hiring manager cannot interview or go through 100s of candidates. They filter the candidates based on those who are certified since it established that certified candidates have good understanding of software testing concepts.
Certifications give you an added advantage over non certified candidates.

I find my actual work experience to be more valuable, and I don’t really feel like the ISTQB certification had added anything to how I test since it was mostly learning terminologies.
