Marc Beaufort
Test Expert
"I've always worked in IT in the insurance sector, including a few years as an IT manager with a large insurance-broker. I eventually chose a large company with more career opportunities. It was Capgemini. At Capgemini, I'm now primarily a test expert. Despite my past experience, I've still had a chance to take training- courses here. Particularly in the field of methodology and approaches towards projects. Now I myself give the training-courses to our testers."
"At Capgemini you're able to continue growing. I began here by carrying out functional analyses, then I was able to give training to programmers, after which I moved on a bit later to the testers, and now I lead a team of experts. I also coach beginners and function as a contact-point for quite a few 'test clients'. What is nice about Capgemini is that you have a range of options as regards career trajectories. You have the chance to change your career direction at any time. As an employer, Capgemini is very flexible."
"We look for people with ambitions for personal growth, but who are aware of their weaker points at the same time, and are prepared to adapt and learn. We look for staff who, despite their previous experience, still want to go on learning and advancing. You are not expected to be perfect, nor to be able to do anything and everything. There are always opportunities open to take training-courses and you get individual coaching and 'on-the-job training'. People who begin, for example, at testing do not in principle need to know anything about testing. The knowledge comes soon enough, and indeed very quickly."
