cv-honesty-check

Check a CV for claims that would not survive an interview, a reference or a background check: inflated titles, unprovable numbers, team results claimed as personal, date fudges and skills with no evidence. Use when asked to check my CV is accurate, will my CV hold up in an interview, is this claim too much, or as the last step before sending a CV. Produces a claim-by-claim risk table with the likely interview question, a safer truthful wording for each risky line, and a list of facts to verify before sending.

# CV Honesty Check

The most common reason a strong CV fails late is a line that does not hold up: a title the reference does not confirm, a number the candidate cannot explain, a project that was really the team's. This skill reads the CV the way a sceptical interviewer and a background checker would, and offers a truthful wording for every risky line.

Part of the pm-cv bundle. Run it before `cv-docx-export`.

## What This Skill Produces

- **A claim table**: each factual claim, its risk, and the question an interviewer would ask
- **Safer wording** for each risky line, true and still strong
- **A verify list**: dates, titles and figures to check against records before sending
