Apply the 70/30 rule (you write 70%, AI refines 30%)
Produce a CV bullet set from raw experience notes
Voice-matching in three samples
Paste two or three pieces of your own good writing and say: 'Analyse my style: sentence length, formality, favourite phrases. Then rewrite the draft below in that voice.' The result stops sounding like a chatbot.
The 70/30 rule
You produce 70% of the substance - facts, decisions, opinions, numbers. AI contributes 30%: structure, tightening, tone. Invert the ratio and the work sounds hollow and reads generic to any experienced reader.
From notes to CV bullets
Raw: 'helped with stock counts'. AI-assisted: 'Coordinated weekly cycle counts across 400 SKUs, cutting stock discrepancies by 18% in one quarter.' The numbers and truth are yours; the framing is the AI's gift.
