Editorial Policy

What we publish

First Role Skills focuses on practical office and remote-work fundamentals: email, files, spreadsheets, meeting tools, task handoffs, and honest beginner portfolio projects. We do not publish copied vacancies, immigration or legal advice, salary promises, or claims that completing a lesson guarantees employment.

Our creation workflow

1. Define one audience, task, and useful outcome.
2. Research primary documentation when a tool or factual claim requires it.
3. Create an original example, practice file, rubric, diagram, or interactive exercise.
4. Complete the procedure using fictitious or safely anonymized data.
5. Review the English, links, accessibility, mobile layout, and downloadable files.
6. Record the author, reviewer, test date, and material software version before publication.

Sources and screenshots

We prefer official documentation for software instructions and policy claims. Screenshots must be created by our team, show no real private information, and be checked against the interface version named in the article. Product names remain the property of their owners; First Role Skills is independent and is not endorsed by those companies.

Experience and authorship

Bylines must identify the person responsible for the lesson and link to accurate background information. We do not invent first-person stories, qualifications, tests, or professional experience. Practice projects are labeled as practice work, not client work.

Content creation and AI disclosure

AI tools may assist with outlines, drafting, clarity checks, metadata, and early code prototypes. They are not treated as sources, testers, authors, or accountable editors. A person must verify factual claims, open cited sources, inspect downloads, test instructions, and approve every page before publication.

We do not automatically publish AI output, invent experience or credentials, create fake software evidence, mass-produce near-duplicate pages, or place personal and confidential information into prompts. When AI makes a substantial contribution that a reader would reasonably want to understand, the relevant guide explains its role and the human checks performed.

Corrections and updates

Material errors should be corrected promptly and the reviewed date updated only when the content was meaningfully checked. Changes to screenshots, formulas, downloads, or instructions receive a new test. A public corrections contact will be activated before launch.

Commercial independence

Advertising or future affiliate relationships will not determine conclusions or hide required steps. Sponsored material, if ever accepted, will be clearly labeled. Advertising must never be presented as a lesson step or download button.
