- What are employers actually looking for now?Thinking, adaptability and AI fluency top the surveys, but most firms still screen on credentials, so what gets through is skill you can show.
- How do I use the time when I'm not getting a job?A five-part week: real work, an AI rep inside it, conversations, a fixed block of applications and one note.
- How do I explain a gap in my CV?One line where the gap sits, the skills it built in a post's words, and one piece of work from it.
