Editorial standards
VetResumeAI publishes career, resume, and transition guidance that thousands of veterans rely on to make consequential decisions. These are the standards we hold our editorial and AI-generated content to.
Primary sources
MOS/AFSC/NEC/Rate descriptions, GS pay scales, veterans' preference rules, and certification funding data are cross-checked against:
- U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) occupational crosswalks
- Office of Personnel Management (OPM) qualification standards and GS pay tables
- U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits publications
- Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Occupational Employment Statistics
- USAJOBS.gov job announcements and specialized-experience language
- Service-specific COOL portals (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard)
Accuracy and updates
Salary bands, GS scales, benefit rules, and eligibility thresholds change. We review high-impact content (pricing, GS charts, VA rules) at least quarterly and update the visible date on the article. If you spot an error, please email us via the contact page and we'll correct within 5 business days.
AI usage disclosure
Our resume, cover letter, LinkedIn summary, and interview outputs are generated by large language models under human-authored system prompts. AI is instructed to rewrite user-provided experience only — never to invent ranks, awards, dates, certifications, or deployments. Every generation remains editable, and we recommend a final human review before submitting to a real employer.
Long-form articles (blog and MOS pages) are drafted by our editorial team, may be AI-assisted for research and structure, and are reviewed against the primary sources listed above before publishing.
Independence and advertising
VetResumeAI is a paid product. We do not accept payment in exchange for editorial coverage of employers, certification providers, schools, or software. Comparison pages disclose that VetResumeAI is our product and are written to be factually accurate about competitors.
Corrections
When we correct a factual error we note it inline. Substantive changes to a published article include an updated date. We do not silently rewrite history.
