Word Count Check:
Draft 1 is approximately 85 words. This is way below the 180-260 word requirement.
Problem: The sources are very sparse. I cannot invent details to meet the word count. I must stick to the facts. If I can't reach 180 words without inventing things, I have a conflict between "Use ONLY facts" and "Write a 180-260 word career overview".
