Prompt

Audit my CV for unsupported, exaggerated or potentially misleading claims. I will provide: - the CV I plan to use; - the original CV or evidence notes that show what I can support; - the job description, if relevant. Check each material claim and classify it as: - Supported - Supported but stronger wording may overstate it - Not enough evidence supplied - Contradicted by the evidence supplied Pay particular attention to: - numbers and percentages; - ownership words such as led, managed, delivered or created; - seniority or decision-making responsibility; - tools, qualifications and technical skills; - outcomes attributed directly to me; - claims that mirror the job description more strongly than my evidence does. For anything risky: 1. Quote only the short phrase that causes the concern. 2. Explain why it may overstate the evidence. 3. Suggest a more accurate alternative where possible. Do not assume a claim is false simply because I have not provided proof; label it "not enough evidence supplied". CV to audit: [PASTE OR ATTACH] Evidence/original CV: [PASTE OR ATTACH]
