How to Format a Quality Control Inspector Resume
Quality control inspectors are employed by manufacturing units and are responsible for ensuring that products are exceptional. As such, your resume should prove to employers you’re an exceptional candidate yourself. To do this, you first need to decide on a resume format that will make your qualifications shine.
The years of experience you have is what will determine which type of resume format will work best. Let’s take a look at two job candidates to understand the difference in their formatting approach. Even though they have similar skill sets as inspectors, they have different career trajectories.
Candidate A shows 19 years of employment by using a chronological resume to highlight their extensive experience. Candidate B will benefit best from a functional resume to shift the recruiter’s attention from a short work history to their skills instead.
