Teams look for testers with attention to detail, systematic thinking and good communication with developers. Your CV should show the kinds of testing you do and your concrete contribution to product quality.

Separate manual and automated testing

List functional, regression, API, performance and mobile testing separately. For automation, name the languages and frameworks.

Measure your impact on quality

Fewer escaped defects, shorter regression cycles and higher coverage are strong evidence.

Add process knowledge

If you worked in agile teams, describe how testing fits into the sprint, and your habits for writing test cases and bug reports.
