Quality control assistant resume sample

Why does this QA engineer resume example work?

• Compelling professional profile: This quality control assistant resume example starts off strong with a detailed summary. It outlines the candidate's unique qualities, recognizes achievements like the 'Employee of the Month' award, and underscores crucial abilities such as communication, critical thinking, and teamwork.
• Strategic showcasing of skills: The resume nicely outlines a balanced mix of hard and soft skills, and indicates the candidate's level of proficiency in each. This gives potential employers a holistic understanding of the candidate's capability.

What could be improved?

• Vigorous use of action verbs: The candidate could invigorate their resume by using more engaging action words. For instance, instead of "worked on the improvement", a more expressive phrase like "orchestrated improvement initiatives" could be used. Similarly, "communicated test results and needed adjustments to managers" could be made more dynamic with "liaised with managers, presenting test findings and advocating necessary adjustments".
• More quantifiable achievements: The resume could benefit from more statistical evidence of the candidate's achievements. If specific numbers can't be provided, focus on illustrating the impact your work had on previous projects or teams.

QA tester resume sample

What makes this QA tester resume example successful?

• Striking design: The resume benefits from its appealing design. The intentional use of white space, along with complementary design elements, creates visual breathing room. This not only makes it pleasing to the eye but also guides the recruiter's gaze efficiently over the content.
• Variety in skills: Aside from the typical technical skills, the candidate amps up their profile by including additional skills, such as language proficiency. This diversifies their skill set and hints at the ability to navigate multicultural work environments, a trait desired by globally-focused employers.

How can we enhance this resume?

• Enhancing work experience descriptions: The candidate could step up their game by boosting the impact of their work experience details. Simply stating "Was responsible for a group of 5 testers; assigned test cases to team." leaves the reader asking "And then what?". Infuse your descriptions with specific outcomes and achievements. For instance, the description could be improved to "Led a group of 5 testers, orchestrating test case assignments that resulted in the successful identification and resolution of over 50 critical bugs, improving the overall system performance by 35%."

QA analyst resume sample

What makes this QA analyst resume sample stand out?

• Straight to the point, clear and concise:  A key strength of this QA tester resume is its brevity. Without sacrificing important details, the resume clearly outlines professional profile, work experience, education, and skills. No fluff, no unnecessary details — just the essentials, well articulated.
• Using the QA jargon: The use of specific QA analyst terminology, or 'lingo', gives this resume its edge. Terms like "test scenarios", "test scripts", and "reduced processing time" aren't just fancy words. They underscore an intimate understanding of the role and its nuances. They reflect competence and can resonate well with potential employers.

What can make this QA resume sample better?

• Quantifiable achievements make your success measurable: While this resume is commendable, it could be enhanced by adding more quantifiable achievements. Numbers have a certain power — they provide a concrete context and demonstrate clear outcomes. They take statements from vague to verifiable.
• Balancing hard and soft skills:  While language skills are undoubtedly important, don’t forget to highlight the specific hard and soft skills pertinent to the role of a QA analyst. Empathy, problem-solving acumen, and attention to detail are as important as knowledge of testing tools or scripting languages.

1. Choose the right resume format as a QA engineer

The very first step to creating an effective resume as a QA engineer is to select a format that best suits your experience level.

• In general, the standard format expected by most employers is the reverse-chronological resume. This resume format focuses primarily on work experience, listing your most recent job first and working chronologically backward from this point. Many employers prefer this format, as it showcases your real-life experience and accomplishments.

However, if you are a recent grad or are new to the field of QA engineering, you may need an alternative format that focuses more on other elements of the document. In this case, you should consider using one of the following formats:

• The functional resume : Functional resumes take the focus off of work experience and place it instead on education, skills, and unpaid experience. This format is ideal for recent or soon-to-be college graduates who have plenty of academic experience but little to no formal work experience.
• The hybrid resume: Hybrid resumes combine elements of both the reverse-chronological and functional formats. The focus of this resume is spread out more evenly between all sections, creating a more diverse document overall. This format is well-suited for applicants who are either changing career paths or are working around large gaps in their work histories.

Choose your preferred template and make your resume shine.

2. build an effective qa engineer resume summary or objective.

As a meticulous QA engineer, your ability to uncover even the tiniest flaws and ensure seamless product functionality is unparalleled. But how do you capture all of that expertise and experience in a concise and compelling resume summary ?

Your stellar summary should include information such as your years of experience , specializations , key accomplishments , or professional objectives .

To help demonstrate how to write an effective resume summary, below we have provided a weak example followed by its correction and explanation.

Bad example of a QA engineer resume summary

QA Engineer with several years of experience working with educational software. Specialized skills include testing UX design and general product error testing.

Why is this incorrect?  In this example, the applicant provides decent details but fails to use compelling language and more specific information that would make this summary more intriguing to employers. To improve this summary, they should offer quantifiable accomplishments and project examples.

Good example of a QA engineer resume summary

Detail-Oriented QA Engineer with 4+ years of experience testing educational software. Specialized in testing and optimizing UX design to identify potential user errors, as well as testing for malfunctions and software defects. Recently worked with a major client to eliminate errors in SAT practice software, reducing product malfunctions by nearly 75%.

Why is this correct?  In this corrected example, the applicant offers much more specific information that is eye-catching and compelling to employers. Not only do they highlight their specialized expertise, but they also showcase a recent project they worked on, including key details and accomplishments of this project.

Let's flip the coin and look at the resume objective . It's like the little sibling of the resume summary — petite yet potent. Perfect for job seekers wet behind the ears in quality assurance.

Let’s review two contrasting examples to illustrate the do’s and don'ts of a resume objective for a QA engineer:

Bad example of a QA engineer resume objective

New QA engineer seeks role to use learned skills and level up.

Why is it ineffective? Nothing stands out. Too generic, no details to engage interest, and overemphasis on being green.

Good example of a QA engineer resume objective

Bachelor in Software Design seeks to leverage top-grade project in error detection at ABC Company. Aced the project with increased user interaction by 20%.

Why does it work? The details take the spotlight. The specific degree ramps up credibility, while quantifiable project fact adds weight and intrigue.

3. Select key QA engineering skills to include on a resume

Whenever you write a resume as a QA Engineer, it is key to include both technical and interpersonal skills . Technical skills refer to your learned abilities gained through education and training, while interpersonal skills refer to your ability to work and communicate well with others.

Both of these types of skills are crucial in QA engineering. You need to both understand the complexities of the products you are working with as well as have a strong ability to communicate any problems or solutions to development teams.

Here are 10 ideas for both technical and interpersonal skills to include on a QA Engineer resume:

The best QA engineer technical skills for your resume

• Software testing techniques
• Software development lifecycles
• Programming languages (Python, Java, etc.)
• SDLC models
• Knowledge of software engineering
• Relational databases & data analytics
• Automation testing
• Compliance & regulatory standards
• Continuous development & delivery

Effective interpersonal skills to put on your QA engineer resume

• Collaboration
• Emotional intelligence
• Verbal & non-verbal communication
• Attention to detail
• Critical thinking
• Adaptability
• Problem-solving

4. Make your QA engineer work experience section stand out

Describing your work experience on a resume should include more than a basic overview of your responsibilities in previous positions. You should strive to include as many specific and quantifiable details regarding your accomplishments as well as your responsibilities to grab employers’ attention.

When listing your descriptive statements under a job, it is important to use bullet points to keep the information organized and highly legible. This way, employers can easily skim through your work experience section while still gaining a thorough understanding of you as a professional.

Let's take a look at two contrasting examples:

Bad example of a QA engineer resume work experiece section

FinTech Solutions, Inc., New York, NY QA Engineer  March 2018 - May 2021

• Worked on some software for a banking project.
• Did some QA processes and made things quicker.
• Worked with some DevOps teams to do things better.

Why doesn't this work? It's murkier than a  foggy night — no specifics, no quantifiable achievements, bland language. Doesn't quite drum up much interest, does it?

Good example of a work experience entry from a QA engineer resume

FinTech Solutions, Inc., New York, NY QA Engineer March 2018 to May 2021

• Worked directly with the software development team for a major banking client, ensuring new software products for the client’s financial platform met compliance and regulatory standards.
• Implemented a new quality assurance process for the continuous development of software products, improving the speed of delivery by more than 40%.
• Consulted with DevOps teams on how to improve current software development life cycles, including introducing more frequent testing to reduce overall production errors by 20% year-over-year.

In essence, your work experience section is your professional glory box. Fill it with your accomplishments and bold specifics to hook potential employers. After all, resumes are not just about the 'what', they're equally about the 'how well'. 

Find out your resume score!

5. Use action words to make your QA engineer resume pop

Action words or verbs give your resume a power-packed punch. They're the 'doing' words that illustrate your skills in action. Used well, they can transform a passive list of tasks into a dynamic showcase of your achievements. 

But why are they important? Simple. They:

• Show initiative and responsibility
• Highlight your ability to affect change or achieve results
• Make your resume more engaging and memorable

Here are some handpicked action words designed for a standout QA Engineer resume:

• Streamlined
• Coordinated
• Implemented

Pepper these throughout your QA engineer resume, and you'll be painting a picture of a proactive professional who gets things done. And that, dear job seeker, is a win.

6. List your QA engineer education concisely and accurately on a resume

To become a QA engineer, you will generally need a bachelor’s degree in a field related to software development such as computer science, software engineering, or information technology.

However, to make yourself a more competitive candidate in the industry , you can boost your resume’s effectiveness greatly if you have QA-specific certifications as well.

No matter which educational credentials you have, it is important to always include the following information in the education section of your resume:

• The name of your degree or certification
• The university, college, or certifying institution
• The date of graduation or program completion
• Relevant accomplishments (graduation honors, student leadership positions, etc.)

Here is an example of a well-crafted education section on a QA engineer resume:

Appalachian State University, Boone, NC B.S. in Software Engineering Graduated: 2017, Summa Cum Laude

• Co-President of the Student Programmer’s Association

Certifications

• Certified Software Quality Engineer — American Society for Quality, 2019 

7. Select relevant extra sections that will make your QA engineer resume shine

As a QA engineer, you understand that attention to detail is crucial in ensuring software quality. But did you know that adding relevant extra sections to your resume can make it stand out from the crowd?

By including these sections, you not only showcase your technical expertise but also demonstrate your commitment to continuous learning and professional growth.

Consider incorporating a " Certifications " section, where you can list industry-recognized certifications such as ISTQB Certified Tester or Six Sigma Green Belt. These certifications highlight your specialized knowledge and dedication to staying up-to-date with the latest QA methodologies.

Another valuable extra section to consider is " Projects and Contributions ." Here, you can highlight specific projects you have worked on, showcasing your problem-solving skills and your ability to work collaboratively within a team. For example, you could mention your involvement in implementing an automated testing framework that significantly improved the efficiency and accuracy of the testing process.

By strategically selecting these extra sections, you can elevate your QA engineer resume and demonstrate to potential employers that you are not just a QA expert, but a well-rounded professional with a passion for excellence in software quality assurance.

Here's an example of how to properly list an extra section on your QA engineer resume

• ISTQB Certified Tester: Demonstrates my comprehensive knowledge and understanding of software testing principles, methodologies, and best practices. (2022)
• Certified Agile Tester (CAT): Validates my proficiency in Agile testing methodologies and my ability to collaborate effectively in Agile development teams. (2021)
• Certified Quality Engineer (CQE): Highlights my expertise in quality management systems, process improvement, and statistical analysis. (2020)

8. Avoid common mistakes in a QA engineer resume

Everyone makes mistakes , but your QA engineer resume is not the place for them. A flawless — or, let's say, less flawed — resume can distinguish you from the competition in an often-treacherous job market.

Let's break down (and avoid) three common mistakes on a QA engineer resume:

• Overcrowding your resume: Often, less is more. Resist the urge to squeeze every little detail into your resume. Keep it succinct and showcase the most relevant and compelling facts about your experience, skills, and achievements.
• Forgetting about formatting: An immensely detailed resume won't impress if it's cluttered and confusing to navigate. Use bullet points, headers, and spacing judiciously to improve readability. Also, ensure you maintain consistent font types and sizes throughout.
• Avoiding achievements: Don't just list your responsibilities — highlight your achievements too. Showcasing what you've accomplished in your roles makes your resume dynamic and evidences your potential value to a prospective employer.
• Ignoring the power of keywords: Job applications today often undergo an automated screening process before they even catch the human eyes. Include keywords from the job description in your resume to pass these applicant tracking systems. But remember, only use them when they honestly match your skills or experiences.
• Neglecting proofreading:  A minor error on your resume can shout major negligence to a hiring manager. Always proofread your resume multiple times for grammatical mistakes, typos, and incorrect information. Consider a third-party review for a fresh set of eyes on your resume.

Remember, your resume is your ticket to land an interview. By dodging these common errors, you are ensuring your resume stands tall amongst the heap and catches the hiring manager's eye.

9. Pair your QA engineer resume with a cover letter

A cover letter is a powerful ally to your resume, and including it each time you submit your resume is highly recommended unless the job posting specifically states otherwise.

But what's the difference between a resume and a cover letter?

Your resume is like a trailer — a quick, crisp outline of your professional journey. It's a targeted list of your qualifications, skills, relevant work experiences, and achievements, preferably tailored to the job description.

On the contrary, a cover letter is more like a personal story — weaving a narrative about why you are an ideal fit for the role and the organization. It's your opportunity to shine a spotlight on specific experiences or events in your career that demonstrate your fit for the job.

A few pointers for writing an effective cover letter for a QA engineer position:

• Personalize it: Include the hiring manager's name if you can locate it. If not, "Dear Hiring Manager" suffices.
• Connect the dots: Discuss how your skills and experiences dovetail with the job description. Highlight how you can add value to the company.
• Call to action: End your letter by expressing your interest in further discussing your application and thanking them for their consideration.

Together, a tailored resume and a well-crafted cover letter give a well-rounded, potent picture of you as a prospective QA engineer. They complement each other, working in tandem to demonstrate both your technical qualification and your personal motivation for the job.

10. Average salary and job outlook for QA engineers

The future looks promising for QA engineers. Whether you're starting off in the industry or are already an experienced professional, the labor market statistics spell good news.

As per the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the annual paycheck for a QA engineer averaged at $124,200 in May 2022. That's a handsome amount to bring to the bank.

But the good news doesn't stop there. The overall employment of professionals in software development, quality assurance analysis, and testing is expected to swell by 25 percent from 2022 to 2032. That's well up on the pace compared to most other occupations.

In terms of job openings, you could be competing with a crowd. The BLS projects an average of 153,900 openings each year for software developers, quality assurance analysts, and testers over the next decade.

All signs point to a healthy and robust job market for QA engineers. So whether you're on the job hunt or pondering a career shift, the time is ripe to sharpen your resume, add a dollop of ambition, and make your mark in the field of quality assurance.

11. Top job search resources for QA engineers

Extending your job search can be as simple as leveraging the right resources. Here are some top options specifically relevant for aspiring QA engineers:

• Online job portals: Your first port of call is likely to be job search websites such as Indeed , Glassdoor , and LinkedIn , known for their vast databases of job listings. Make sure to create job alerts to be notified of fresh listings.
• Tech-specific job boards: Websites like Dice and CrunchBoard offer job listings specifically in the tech field, connecting you with companies looking for QA engineers directly.
• Networking events: Both online and offline networking events can open up a plethora of opportunities. Sites like Meetup and Eventbrite often host tech-focused networking events where one can connect with potential employers.
• QA focused communities: Online forums and communities like Github , Stack Overflow , or the American Software Testing Qualifications Board (ASTQB) are filled with professionals and enthusiasts who can offer valuable insights or job leads.
• LinkedIn: Beyond being a job portal, LinkedIn also enables you to network with professionals in your field, become visible to recruiters, and join QA-focused groups for discussions and advice.
• Recruitment agencies: Tech-focused recruitment agencies such as Robert Half and CyberCoders can help you land the right job quicker by connecting you directly with employers looking for your skills.
• Learning platforms: Sites like Coursera or Khan Academy offer courses in QA testing that can bolster your resume while also potentially connecting you with job opportunities.

Remember, job hunting is not exclusively about checking job listings — it's about making connections, expanding your knowledge, and marketing yourself effectively. These resources should serve as a good starting point on your journey towards landing a dream QA engineer role.

QA Engineer (Quality Assurance) Resume FAQ

Even if you're transitioning, you likely possess transferable skills that could be valuable in a QA engineer role. Highlight these in your skills section and within your resume objective, relating them to essential qualities of a QA engineer. Also, consider adding any relevant certifications or courses you've taken to reinforce your qualifications.

Highlight any relevant internships, projects, or coursework. If you have gaps in your employment, focus on what you did during that time that could enhance your qualifications in a QA role - like freelance work, volunteering, or relevant courses.

Typically, a "hobbies and interests" section isn't necessary unless those interests directly align with the job or provide further evidence of your transferable skills. Space on a resume is prime real estate - ensure every section adds value and relevance to your application.

You should list the tools and technology that are most relevant to the job you're applying for. Including a long list of every tool you've ever used might not be useful and could dilute the attention from your more critical and relevant skills.

Generally, your resume should be one to two pages. If you're a seasoned professional with extensive experience, two pages are acceptable. However, if you're new to the field or have less experience, you should aim to keep your resume to a single page. Always prioritize the quality of content over length.

If you’re using the functional or combination format, don’t forget to  elaborate a bit further on each of your skills . For example, you can briefly explain what the skill entailed and anything you did that made you your performance exceptional.

The resume design for a Quality Assurance Engineer resume should  attract the attention of hiring managers at first sight .

Sections of a QA Engineer Resume

A winning QA Engineer resume should comprise organized sections.  The sections should portray your skills, work history, courses,  educational background , and more . Each section should reflect the qualifications you have for the job.

While the sections may be separate, they usually complement each other.  For example, you may include a specific skill in one section , and the HR manager may want to confirm whether you applied the same skill in the previous work experience.

QA Engineer Resume Section Headings

A QA engineer resume should focus on education, skills, and  work experience . However, you can hit the ground running straight away with a well-focused  resume objective statement . Use a few sentences here to  tempt the hiring manager to keep reading  by highlighting your motivations and a few of your top career achievements and skills. If all goes well, the recruiter won’t be able to resist reading on further.

Quality assurance engineers should have  at least a bachelor’s or master’s degree  in software engineering, software design, or computer science. Since many QA job requirements may have a clear stipulation of the job requirements, you may not have a lot of flexibility in this section. Always check the job description and make sure your resume fits the ideal profile well.

Under this section, you’ve got to show that you possess the relevant experience for the job. Be sure to mention the knowledge acquired from former jobs.  Split this section into short bullet point lists  and reference as many relevant duties you undertook as possible.

Try where possible not to repeat any responsibilities you undertook in multiple jobs.  Only mention the earliest instance of a task you learned on the job . From there you can show progress in your career by adding more and more relevant experience as you get nearer to your present or last job. Again, always make it as relevant as possible to the job description at hand.

Be sure to include  all the skills relevant to the quality assurance engineer role . Some of the common skills the hiring manager may be looking for include:

How to Improve Your qa test engineer Resume

Navigating resume pitfalls can mean the difference between landing an interview or not. Missing job descriptions or unexplained work history gaps can cause recruiters to hesitate.

Include your contact information and job descriptions, missing job descriptions lessens your chances of getting hired..

• Employers want to know what you've accomplished, so make sure to include descriptions for all of your previous jobs.
• Keep job descriptions short but don't just list your jobs.
• Never copy-paste a job description to post on your resume. Get inspired and use tools to help you write customized descriptions.

How to shift the focus from your qa software tester resume experience section to your professional profile

If you're at the start of your career journey or transitioning industries, you might be concerned about the lack of professional experience while crafting your qa software tester resume.

How can you effectively present your qa software tester resume experience section under these circumstances?

• Detailing your technical background in certifications and skills sections. As a recent graduate, your technological foundations might be particularly attractive to employers looking to develop these skills further.

It's important to remember that employers sometimes prefer candidates with less experience but who are a better cultural fit for their organization.
