How to Format a Qa Test Lead Resume
The most effective way to make a powerful resume is by choosing the correct resume format. Each format has a different purpose, putting the spotlight on your most in-demand skills or achievements.
For experienced candidates, the chronological resume format focuses on your work history first. Meanwhile, those that are new to the workforce can benefit best from a functional resume. This format will shift the employer’s attention from lack of experience to your best skills and volunteer work.
Let’s take a look at two sample job candidates. The first candidate uses the chronological resume to show 11 years of work history, while the second candidate is new to the workforce and can benefit best from a functional resume.
