๐ Resume Tips for This Role
Make Manual + API Testing the headline of your resume. Do not present yourself as a generic tester when the vacancy specifically values API and Swagger expertise.
Create a dedicated technical-skills section covering Manual Testing, REST API, Postman, Swagger/OpenAPI, HTTP, JSON, JIRA, SQL and Agile where applicable. For every project, explain the APIs or backend workflows you tested and mention the types of validations performed.
Use measurable achievements where possible, such as the number of APIs tested, regression cycles supported, defects identified or reduction in production issues. If you have experience with banking, e-commerce, payments, backend integrations or microservices, highlight it because these domains often involve extensive API testing.
