Runner and test director. It is always a good idea to join any software testing institute or class which will provide you a good start and direction of preparation. You can join any 4 months duration software testing course or can do diploma in software testing which is typical of 6 months to 1 year. Keep the preparation going on in your course duration. This will help you to start giving interviews right after getting over your course. If you have some sort of previous IT experience and want to switch to software testing then its somewhat simple for you. Show your previous IT experience in your resume while applying for software testing jobs. If possible do some crash course to get the idea of software testing concepts like I mentioned for freshers above. Keep in mind that you have some kind of IT experience so be prepared for some tough interview questions here. As companies always prefer some kind of relevant experience for any software job, its better if you have relevant experience in software testing and QA. It may be any kind of software testing tools hands on or some testing course from reputed institutes. Please always keep in mind Do not add the fake experience of any kind. This can ruin your career forever. Wait and try for some more days to get the job by your abilities instead of getting into the trap of fake experience. Last important words, Software testing is not anyone can do career Remove this attitude from your mind if someone has told such kind of foolish thing to you. Testing requires in depth knowledge of SDLF, out of box thinking, analytical skill and some programming language skill apart from software testing basics. So best luck and start preparing for your rocking career I will continue writing this career series and what you actually need to prepare for software testing interview.
