Did AI Write Your CV ?

Drive by Friday –
There’s something happening in the market right now.
CVs are looking more polished than ever (will let’s say a high percentage).
Beautiful structure
Impressive wording
Very… smooth
And yet — they all sound the same.
AI is a tool. And it’s a clever one as we all know.
But when your CV reads like it could belong to anyone in Novated Leasing, Salary Packaging, or Fleet Management you’ve diluted the very thing that makes you employable - YOU. And guess what - Recruiters and Hiring Managers can tell.
What we see:
The identical phrasing
The buzzwords stacked on top of buzzwords
The same intro on every CV
The perfectly rounded achievements with no real commercial depth
In our industry especially, authenticity matters. This is a relationship-driven sector - it’s commercial; it’s complex; it’s more than just a buzzword here and there.
If you’ve grown a novated pipeline from $2M to $4M - then say that.
If you retained a difficult corporate client through a restructure - tell that story.
If you’ve built referral partnerships that consistently convert - quantify it.
Don’t’ get me wrong - AI can still have a place in your CV.
It can help with structure.
It can help with spelling.
It can even help refine clarity.
But it cannot replace your insight, your numbers, your relationships, your impact.
Here’s the real risk…
If AI “enhances” your CV beyond your own voice, you may struggle to confidently back it up in an interview and talk to your document effectively. Your CV shouldn’t be a creative writing exercise. It should be a commercial snapshot of what you’ve actually delivered.
Use AI as a tool.
Don’t let it become your personality.
In a market full of polished profiles, authenticity is your competitive advantage.
Authenticity always stands out!
