Before your last job, you had about 6 months of QA experience — was it an internship?

If you had about 6 months of QA experience before your last job, it could be either an internship or a junior position, depending on the conditions and format of work.

An internship usually involves training and performing tasks under the guidance of a mentor, often with limited responsibilities and the possibility of transitioning to a permanent position.

If you performed full testing tasks, participated in development and release processes, then this can be considered real work experience, not just an internship. It is important to clearly describe what exactly you did in your resume and during interviews to demonstrate your level of competence.
