AI for job seekers: claims you can prove.

You can check a tailored resume line against your own evidence and defend it in an interview using the lab's constitution rule.

Treat your job search as a set of claims someone else will check, using the rule in the lab's constitution: a claim without checkable evidence is treated as a lie. Let AI draft your claims, then apply that rule to every resume line before you send it.

Here's the part you can copy from the lab's claim-and-evidence rule.

1. Write the record before the draft

   Build your record, the source material showing what you actually did, under the constitution's evidence rule. Write what happened and where you did the work; name the person who saw it and the source of any number you plan to use. Keep a receipt for each resume line, a note tying the claim to evidence someone can check, using the pattern in Under the hood.

   You know it worked when you can open the source behind each claim, including the original measurement behind each number, as the editorial standards require.

2. Check which sources the tool read

   Give the tool your record and the posting, then ask it to name which source supports each proposed bullet. Use the 250-reachable audience account as your warning: the tool read one source and reported 4 reachable people because it missed the other consent source.

   You know it worked when you have opened every source the tool cites and checked for missing records, the assumption that failed in the audience account. Treat the posting as evidence of what the employer wants; require your own record for any claim that you have done it.

3. Draft with a gate that can stop you

   Set a gate, a check that stops a claim from going out when evidence is missing, following the constitution. Give the tool this instruction: “Tailor a bullet to this posting using only the attached record; attach its source note and flag anything the record cannot support.”

   You know it worked when you have struck every unsupported skill and metric, catching a draft that reports work that did not happen. Leave uncertain details out of the application; mark them unverified in your working notes until you can check them, following the editorial standards.

4. Open the resume you will send

   Open your exported resume and compare every line to its receipt; copy the lab's live-page check onto the file the employer will read. Check that the export shows the corrected wording and has kept the source-backed number.

   You know it worked when you have read the actual export against the record, closing the gap in 463 passing tests beside a blank website: a green result nobody looked at.

5. Have a different model challenge the claim

   Use an out-of-family reviewer, a model from a different family than the one that drafted, as your skeptical interviewer. Borrow this from the lab's on-demand review of high-stakes changes. Give it the resume and its receipts, then ask: “Challenge what the candidate personally did and how the number was measured; require evidence for each answer.”

   You know it worked when you can answer the challenge from your record or remove the claim, and you have checked any disputed objection against the source, as in the rival-review account.

Fictional candidate and sample draft; the counts come from the published consent-reconciliation account. The candidate's role and supporting documents below are invented for this exercise; they do not identify who did the lab's work.

Use the lab's sequence here: write what happened, inspect the draft against the record, then decide what survives.

Ask the skeptical interviewer to challenge the corrected bullet: “Does reachable mean you sent the campaign?” Answer only from the record: “The count describes the reachable audience; this record does not show a campaign send.”

• Reject a polished bullet about work you never did; the false-done reports sounded plausible too.
• Check for missing sources before accepting a count; the audience check read only one system.
• Open the final resume before calling it checked; 463 green tests never looked at the blank page.
• Keep an unmeasured result unmeasured; the lab's payroll page leaves unsupported numbers blank.
• Verify the interviewer's objections against your evidence; the rival reviewer also produced false alarms.

Pick one resume line and put it through the constitution's evidence rule. Write its record using the prompts below, then rewrite the line to match that record exactly. Keep this receipt beside the final resume for the skeptical interview practice above.

What

Write what you personally did for this claim.

Where

Name the project and where its source is saved.

Number

Copy the measured result with its source and time window, or mark it unmeasured.

Who saw it

Name the person who can confirm this work.

You know it worked when you can trace every part of the rewritten line to this note and its source, meeting the lab's rule for a checkable claim.
