Post-AI Layoff: Pivot Editorial Skills to Resilient Roles

Given your layoff due to AI, focusing solely on traditional editorial roles might be risky. While you should include relevant editorial experience, consider pivoting your strong communication and content skills towards roles less susceptible to full AI replacement, such as content strategy (human oversight of AI-generated content), UX writing, technical writing, or prompt engineering. Highlighting transferable skills from your barista role (customer service, time management) can be useful for entry-level roles if gaps exist, but prioritize demonstrating AI-resilient capabilities.
