01
Foundation & Role Understanding
Understand AI for This Role
Start with the AI fundamentals for career work — what is safe to hand to AI, what stays you-led, and how honesty, privacy, and review-first habits apply before any application goes out.

What to learn
  • Use AI to organize career context, verified skills, and target roles.
  • Protect identity data, employer data, client files, and personal contact details.
  • Build prompts that use placeholders and avoid sensitive career information.
  • Spot outputs that sound exaggerated, generic, or unverifiable.
  • Keep final applications, interviews, and negotiations human-led.

AI terms to know

PromptThe instruction you give an AI tool — the task, the context, and the format you want back. Better prompts produce better output.

HallucinationWhen AI states something false with full confidence — an invented fact, number, source, or detail that is not supported by your real information.

Context WindowThe amount of information an AI can hold in mind at once. Long documents or conversations that exceed it cause the AI to lose track of earlier details.

GroundingTying AI output to your verified source material — documents, data, and approved facts — instead of letting the model answer from memory.

AI terms to know

Human-in-the-LoopA workflow where a person reviews or approves AI output before it is used, sent, or saved — the core safety habit for daily AI work.

Prompt TemplateA saved, reusable prompt with blanks for the details that change — so repeated tasks get consistent, reviewed-quality results every time.

Structured OutputAsking AI to answer in a fixed format — a table, checklist, or labeled fields — so results are easier to review, compare, and reuse.

Safety, Privacy & Governance
Use AI Safely / Responsibly
The governance layer — identity data boundaries, claim verification, authenticity checks, and the review-first habits that protect professional credibility.

  • Protect identity numbers, addresses, phone numbers, employer files, and client data.

AI terms to know

Prompt InjectionA hidden instruction planted in content an AI reads — an email, a web page, a document — designed to hijack the AI into doing something you did not ask.

Data LeakageWhen private information ends up where it should not — pasted into the wrong tool, kept in a chat history, or exposed in AI output.

PII (Personally Identifiable Information)Any detail that can identify a person — names, addresses, account numbers, IDs — and should be kept out of unapproved AI tools.

Audit TrailA record of what the AI was asked, what it produced, what was edited, and who approved it — proof of how AI-assisted work was made.
