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
