There are no normal ways to get such experience, but as a person who interviews (including juniors), I can say that this experience is not particularly needed.
And yet, the options are approximately the following:
1) Testing exchanges (utest and others like them).
In fact, you will spend more time on knocking out tasks for yourself among competitors, but you can get some kind of experience there.
2) Internships in large companies. Also not the coolest way, because. most likely you won’t get much experience, you’ll just solve routine tasks for a couple of months, which people in the company’s staff carefully dodge.
3) Project \ hourly work remotely (for example, the vacancies of assessors in Yandex proposed in the comments). Approximately the same as item 2, but for symbolic money.
In fact, all this is not really necessary.
People who are ready to hire a novice specialist do not expect any useful experience in his resume.
They need, first of all, to see the general adequacy, interest and ability to learn and develop without kicks.
Everything else they are ready to teach you. Otherwise, they would not look towards junior specialists.
- Take testing courses and minimal programming courses (codeacademy + python for example).
- Read a couple of books about testing, software development process, general computer science.
- Read articles on the specifics of testing on different platforms (eg mobile)
- Write some trial autotests on the UI and API, put them on github.
- Take a few typical business cases in any well-known application, write test documentation for them. You can also put it all on github.
- Practice standard SQL queries and command line work.
Attach it all to your resume, describe what you learned and what you want.
And go to interviews.
