How we write and check our examples and guides
These pages are written with the help of AI. Here is what that means, and what every page is checked for before it goes up.
Who writes them
Avowly drafts every guide, resume example and cover letter with the help of AI. The Avowly team then corrects and approves each page before it goes up. No page claims a named expert as its author.
The people are made up
Every person, employer, school and number in the examples is invented. We search each employer and school name to make sure it does not belong to a real organization. If you spot one that does, tell us and we will change it.
Licenses and certificates use official names
When an example names a license, registration or certificate, we name it the way its issuing body does. Requirements change and differ by place, so confirm the current rules with the issuing body before you apply. License numbers are never shown.
One answer per question
Where advice differs from place to place, such as photos, columns, page length or referees, every page gives the same answer, set in one house style that we update first when the advice changes.
Checks every page must pass
The site will not publish a page that breaks its own rules. A cover letter may only use figures that appear in its resume or job post, must name the employer it is written to, and may not open or close the way another letter does.
Dates you can trust
Each page shows when it was last reviewed. That date changes only when the page itself is checked or changed, never to make a page look fresh.
Found a mistake?
If a page gets a licence, a term or a fact wrong for your field or country, please tell us. We check every report and correct the page, and its review date changes when we do.
