Update cadence
Evergreen articles are reviewed at least quarterly; time-sensitive posts move sooner
Time-sensitive topics move faster when rules, deadlines, or market signals change.
We publish articles only after checking whether the advice depends on a policy, a market signal, or first-hand experience. If a section depends on an official rule, we look for the original source. If it depends on experience, we label it as practical guidance instead of hard fact.
Not every article uses the same dataset, but the editorial expectation is consistent: cite the primary rule, employer guidance, or research owner wherever it materially affects the reader.
Blog articles are expected to cite the original policy, handbook, or employer guidance before we publish practical takeaways.
Used for labor-market, education, and future-of-work context when broader data is needed.
Used for resume, interview, internship, and early-career hiring patterns where employer-side evidence matters.
Added reviewer and methodology disclosure to major blog surfaces
The blog section now clearly shows review context, source expectations, and correction workflow alongside major article experiences.
Reader feedback loop
Writers and editors monitor feedback for factual issues, unclear advice, and stale references that should be refreshed.
