What to rebuild after a layoff in London

Recruiters scan for role fit, recent proof, and keywords. For AI Engineer, your resume should show the tools you used, the problem you solved, and the result. A vague project line does not help. A specific line with numbers, users, revenue, cost, speed, quality, or risk reduction works much better.

Check this before sending another application.

  • Transferable skills
  • Proof rebuild
  • Applications
  • Put the exact job title and adjacent titles in your summary.
  • Mirror the top skills from the job description naturally.
  • Use 3 to 5 achievement bullets that show measurable outcomes.
  • Keep formatting simple so ATS software can parse every section.
