## Mistakes that cost interviews

Watch out for:

- Submitting AI text without reading it
- Inventing skills or metrics you cannot defend in an interview
- Using one generic AI output for every job
- Ignoring ATS formatting for flashy templates
- Keyword stuffing that reads unnaturally
- Skipping cover letters when the role expects them
- Forgetting to update your master profile after edits

## The right way to use AI

Treat AI as a first draft. Verify facts, adjust tone, and tailor per job. Cresumely is designed for this workflow: generate, edit, save per company, export.
