Build One Small AI-Assisted Office Project
Demonstrate a task you can explain, review and repeat.
Choose a modest project
Create a meeting agenda, an onboarding checklist or a draft customer-service response using an entirely fictional scenario. Pick a task that resembles work you want to do. Define what a good result should contain before opening the tool.
Write the input yourself and ask AI for a draft. Then inspect the result for missing steps, unclear instructions and assumptions. Revise it until another person could use it without guessing what you meant.
Show your judgment
Save the original instruction, first draft and corrected version. Add a short note explaining the changes you made. This makes your review process visible and gives you something concrete to discuss.
If you share the project, label the scenario as fictional and identify the AI assistance. Do not include real employer documents or imply that the project was paid professional work. A small, well-reviewed example is more credible than a collection of impressive-looking outputs you cannot explain.
