I'm a QA Automation Engineer with a 9-month internship background in API Development and Testing (Java/Postman). I am currently upskilling in Python, Playwright, & Selenium to transition fully into a specialized Testing role.

Despite maintaining a 100% truthful resume, I am struggling to get callbacks due to a 3-year career gap.

What certifications/specific portfolio projects would you recommend to prove I’m job-ready? How can I best leverage my API background to stand out for Automation roles?

I would suggest to focus you energy in development roles. Due to AI revolution QA roles are fading out soon. Currently AI agents can write full e2e automation in no time with vey less efforts.

I am not only focusing on QA, and what about automation testing and SDET roles?? I heard they also work like developers due to their deep level of involvement in coding and deployment. I know that AI is trending but what I believe is the style of working will be changed, not everything can be replaced by AI, at some levels human intervention is also needed, they can outperform AI in creative thinking, complex problem solving, emotional intelligence and strategic thinking.
