How we write these articles

Where the stories on this site come from, how facts are checked, and when an article gets updated.

Where the stories come from

Every story here happened to me, in close to ten years in corporate finance and in my own job search. I leave out company and people names. I never invent a detail, a quote, a number or an outcome.

How facts are checked

Anything I did not see myself, like job data, definitions or research, links to its original source right where the claim is made. Each article lists 3 to 5 of those sources at the end. I prefer government and primary research over other blogs.

When articles change

The Updated date moves only when the content does: a new source, a fact that changed, a better example. Never just to look fresh.

Tools

I use AI tools for research, first drafts and fact checks. The stories, the judgment and the final edit are mine.

Who runs the site

This site belongs to Arca. Some articles mention our own job search product. It never changes what an article recommends.
