Writing tips
- Quantify quality in escaped-defect and cycle-time numbers — 'wrote test cases' says nothing.
- Automation framework names are hard filters; list every one you've genuinely used.
- Show you prevent bugs (risk analysis, shift-left), not just find them — it's the senior signal.
- One bullet on a critical bug you caught, with its business impact, is memorable.
