Say careful, thorough, detailed instead — or cut it.
In short
A favourite in AI-written cover letters and reviews. One “meticulous” is fine; AI tends to stack it with “dedicated” and “passionate”.
AI version
I am a meticulous and detail-oriented professional.
Human version
I check my work twice. My last manager called it annoying, then thanked me for it.
