Remote testing automation without experience. Is it possible to?

Question

Distant work

Hello everyone, it would be nice to hear your opinions.
I have been in manual testing for many years, I work as a seigneur in the office for outsourcing. I want to get into automation, I have completed the corresponding courses in python. The situation is such that I move to a private house outside the city. I am looking for a remote location so as not to spend a lot of time on the road to the office. Without experience in automation, they don’t take me to a remote location, I monitor all work sites, I respond, there are very few relevant vacancies and the competition is high.
Need advice on how to enter automation through remote control.
Thank you very much.

Answer 1

Try to find a remote job first as a manual tester (thus expanding the boundaries of your search), during interviews, talk about your ambitions in terms of development for automated testing in the near future (usually there will be an answer to this). Thus, you will join the workflow of the company and in the future it will be easier to adapt to something new. In any normal company, this is welcome.

Answer 2

It's no different than any other IT remote, and it's real. If you can find a non-remote without automation experience, then you can find a remote. If you have normal knowledge of English - you can look for companies abroad - there are more opportunities to find something. You need to arrange cooperation differently in this case.
