Looking for critique/advice for my resume

Bearing in mind that clear written communication is vital for a QA role, I have a few points:

  • What is the status of your degree - are you still enrolled on it? Your CV lacks clarity here.
  • IMO, for a CV, there is too much abbreviation in the fragment that commences your objective section; I would start it 'To establish a career...'.
  • When compiling a list, consider whether the sentence makes sense when isolated against each item in the list - for instance, '...problem solving, analytical, leadership abilities and positive team approaches...' and '...creating smoothies, dish washing, cash register and restocking all items' don't follow this rule (in the latter, 'cash register' isn't a duty because it is a noun).
  • What do you mean by '...and maintain a high bar for engaging video games'?
  • Watch out for stylisation in brands - for instance, I believe it is a TRC requirement that PlayStation should be stylised with a capital 's'. You would be expected to notice mistakes like this in a QA role.

    Good luck with the job applications :-)
