Beginner rule: Use AI to slow down, understand choices, and prepare safer questions. Do not let AI replace official sources, professional advice, or your own judgment.

Short answer

How to think about AI-written references, resumes, and job documents that may exaggerate or mislead.

Why this matters

AI can make weak or false job claims sound confident and professional.

Step-by-step

Start with a small, low-risk example. Tell AI what you want, give only the needed background, ask for a clear format, then review the answer slowly before acting.

Try this prompt

Review this job reference or resume text for claims that should be verified before trusting it.”

Common beginner mistake

The common mistake is giving AI private details or asking it to decide for you. Use AI to explain, organize, draft, compare, or prepare questions instead.

Safety note

Do not hire, pay, or share company access based only on polished AI-written documents.

What to do next

Save the prompt if it helps. Remove private details, change names to placeholders, and check anything important with an official source or trusted person.
