Replace broad praise with specific work. Phrases such as highly motivated or results-oriented tell the reader little unless the surrounding facts demonstrate them. You do not need to sound casual; you need to make the work understandable.
Start here
- Replace broad praise with specific work.
- No. Keep language that is precise and familiar in the field. Remove wording that obscures the actual work or makes claims you cannot explain in an interview.
A practical checklist
Underline adjectives and general claims. Ask what action supports each one. Use the action, the subject of the work and a known outcome or scope. Keep technical terms that a reader needs, but remove repeated promotional language. Compare the revised sentence with the original experience and read it aloud for clarity. Keep useful details such as the report frequency or the team you supported when they are part of your original facts.
Mistakes and limits to keep in mind
Do not add a new achievement just to make a sentence more concrete. If your source only says you prepared weekly reports, keep that fact; do not transform it into owning business strategy. An AI detector score is not proof that your resume is accurate or appropriate.
Edit a sentence without changing its claim
First identify the real action in the sentence. Remove adjectives that do not add evidence, then make the object of the work clear. Keep details such as frequency, audience or tools only when they come from your experience. A plain description of useful work is better than a grand claim with no support.
Compare the revised sentence with the original before replacing it. Improving readability should not quietly turn routine contribution into leadership or a known task into an unmeasured business result.
Check the voice across the whole document
A concise summary followed by inflated bullets can make the resume feel inconsistent. Read one section after another and standardize tense, level of detail and terminology. Keep specialist terms that the intended reader needs, but explain unfamiliar abbreviations when useful.
Do not optimize for an AI-detection score. Such a score does not establish whether the facts are correct or whether the writing helps a recruiter. Focus on statements that sound natural when you explain the work aloud.
