Common mistakes on resumes for this role

  • "Tested the application and reported bugs" with no methodology — no test case design, regression suites or coverage mentioned.
  • No automation mentioned. Even mostly-manual QA roles now expect familiarity with at least one automation tool.
  • Bug counts with no severity or resolution context — "found 200 bugs" says nothing about what mattered.
  • No integration with the release process — testing framed as a separate, siloed step rather than part of CI/CD.

Weak vs. strong

Weak Tested the application and reported bugs.

Strong Built a Cypress regression suite covering 85% of critical paths, cutting release-blocking bugs found in production by 70%.
