Ethical Use Guidelines

Using AI responsibly in your job search

Our Commitment to Ethical AI

At TailorCV, we believe in the responsible use of AI to enhance, not replace, human capabilities. Our platform is designed to help you present your authentic professional experience in the best possible way.

Core Principle: AI should amplify your real achievements and skills, not fabricate them.

How to Use TailorCV Ethically

✓

Be Truthful About Your Experience

Only include work experience, education, and skills that you actually possess. Our AI helps you articulate your real achievements more effectively.

Example: If you managed a team of 5 people, our AI can help you describe this as "Led a cross-functional team of 5 professionals, improving project delivery by 30%"

✓

Enhance, Don't Fabricate

Use AI to improve how you present your genuine accomplishments, not to create false ones.

Good: "Increased sales revenue by 25% through targeted marketing campaigns" (if this is true)
Bad: "Led a team of 50 engineers at Google" (if you never worked at Google)

✓

Be Transparent About Your Skills

Only list skills you can demonstrate. If you're learning something new, be honest about your proficiency level.

Example: "Python (Intermediate)" or "JavaScript (Learning)" instead of claiming expert-level knowledge

✓

Use AI for Formatting and Optimization

Let AI help with structure, keyword optimization, and ATS compatibility while keeping your content authentic.

What NOT to Do

✗

Don't Invent Work Experience

Never create fake job titles, companies, or responsibilities you haven't actually had.

✗

Don't Fake Education or Certifications

Only include degrees, certifications, and courses you've actually completed.

✗

Don't Exaggerate Achievements

While it's okay to present your accomplishments positively, don't inflate numbers or results beyond reality.

✗

Don't Use AI to Write Entirely

AI should enhance your writing, not replace your voice and personal experience entirely.
