Build repo with some simple code and test suite for it.

Start by creating a personal website or using platforms like GitHub to display your testing projects.
Contribute to open-source projects by providing test cases or identifying bugs, which demonstrates your practical skills. Document your testing processes, methodologies, and any tools you’ve used in detailed write-ups or blog posts.
Additionally, obtain certifications in software testing to add credibility and showcase your commitment to the field.
@simonas_kauzonas I completely agree. While personal projects and certifications are the more common path, contributing to open-source projects seems to be a less popular but equally valuable option.
Contribute to open source projects on GitHub to build a portfolio! Add test cases, find bugs, improve docs. Also consider making your own simple projects to demo your testing skills - things like a basic web app with a test suite covering different scenarios. Blog about your testing approach & insights to showcase your knowledge.
