This may not be helpful, but in my experience of recruiting 100s of IT people over the years, professional CVs generally went in the bin.

They were generally obvious to spot, didn't tell me what I needed to know, and (rightly or wrongly) I worked on the basis that if the person couldn't sell their skills to me without help, then they wouldn't be able to deal with our customers (internal or external) or write effective documentation.

For QA especially, I'd expect the candidate to be able to write effectively, as that's a big part of the job.

If you're not tailoring your CV to the specific job you're going for, remember that other applicants are.
