Honest about gaps
If your profile lacks a requirement, we do not claim it. The draft can instead say how you will approach it.
Your voice
Written in the first person. What you did before is in the past tense, and what you do now in the present.
You have the last word
Edit directly in the text, undo, and approve only when it sounds like you.
