List examples of work you have done

Before asking for a résumé or profile, list projects, responsibilities, tools, decisions, and results you can support. Include difficult situations, not only polished achievements. The quality of the source material determines whether the answer sounds credible.

Include the work that a job title hides: mentoring a colleague, calming a client issue, making a trade-off under pressure, or improving a process. Record what you did, who was involved, and what you can verify. Leave a result blank if you do not have evidence for it.

Use comparison to find gaps

Give the tool a public job description and your list of work examples. Ask it to separate strong matches, partial matches, missing evidence, and questions. Do not ask it to make you sound qualified. Ask it to show where your actual experience connects.

For a role outside your current industry, ask it to translate job language into the underlying work. Then check each suggested connection yourself. “Led cross-functional work” could mean very different responsibilities at two employers.

Practise, then answer in your own words

AI can generate likely interview questions and challenge vague answers. It cannot supply the story or decision-making that made the experience yours. Use it as a practice partner, then speak without memorizing its phrasing.

Ask for follow-up questions after each answer. If you cannot explain a claimed result without reading the answer, that example is not ready for an interview.

Use the final application as a fact check

Compare your résumé, profile, and cover letter with the list of work examples line by line. Check dates, job titles, qualifications, scope, and numbers. Remove language you would not use in conversation. A clear example of a decision you made is more credible than a list of broad adjectives.

Try it yourself

Compare your evidence with a role

Remove your address, phone number, and other unnecessary identifiers.

Before you paste: use made-up, public, or approved information. Before using work information, check that your workplace permits both the tool and the information.

Instructions to complete before you use them

Replace any text in square brackets. Read the complete instructions once before using them.

Compare this job description with my list of work examples. Create four sections: strong evidence, partial evidence, no evidence provided, and questions I should answer. Do not write a résumé and do not infer achievements. Quote the source line for each match.

You have finished when you can check these points

  • Can you support every claimed achievement?
  • Did the tool confuse years of experience with proof of a skill?
  • Which examples best show decision-making, not just activity?

Keep these points

  • Start from verified evidence.
  • Use AI to compare, not embellish.
  • Keep interview stories in your own voice.
