Common Red Flags of AI- Generated CVS


While AI can produce text quickly, it often lacks the depth and personalization that recruiters value. Here are some common phrases and characteristics that signal AI-generated content:

  1. Generic Descriptions
    Phrases like “I am a hard worker” or “I have excellent communication skills” are overused and lack specificity. Recruiters want to see concrete examples of your achievements and skills.
  2. Clichés and Buzzwords
    Terms such as “team player,” “results-oriented,” or “go-getter” are often flagged as generic. These buzzwords can dilute your message and make your application blend in with countless others.
  3. Vague Statements
    Statements like “I contributed to team success” without context or specific outcomes provide little value. Recruiters prefer quantifiable achievements that demonstrate your impact.
  4. Repetitive Language
    AI-generated content often includes repetitive phrases or structures, making the text feel mechanical. A well-crafted CV should flow naturally and engage the reader.
  5. Inconsistent Tone
    AI may struggle to maintain a consistent voice throughout the document, leading to abrupt shifts in tone. Your CV should reflect your personality and professional style.
    Why Personalization is Key
    Recruiters are skilled at spotting AI-generated content, and they prefer authentic, personalized applications. Here’s why you should invest in tailored CVs and LinkedIn profiles:

Authenticity: A personalized approach allows you to showcase your unique experiences and strengths, making your application memorable.
Relevance: Tailored content speaks directly to the job description, demonstrating your alignment with the company’s needs and culture.
Connection: A well-crafted narrative creates a connection with the recruiter, making them more likely to remember you.

“After months of sending out job applications with an AI-generated CV, I was frustrated and disheartened by the lack of responses. I knew I had the skills and experience but couldn’t figure out why I wasn’t getting noticed. That’s when I turned to Keth Africa. They took the time to understand my background, my career aspirations, and even my personal story. They didn’t just create a CV; they crafted a narrative that truly represented me. Within weeks of using my new CV, I received multiple interview invitations, and I finally landed a position that I love! I can’t thank Keth Africa enough for their expertise and support.”
— Sarah N., Project Manager
