Try an AI tool on one task you'd normally do by hand: "Prepare and maintain records detailing tests, repairs, and maintenance".Learn one AI tool well enough to show it in an interview, for: "Maintain inventories of spare parts for all equipment, requisitioning parts as necessary".Get visibly better at your human core: "Inspect and test equipment and circuits to identify malfunctions or defects, using wiring diagrams and testing devices such as ohmmeters, voltmeters, or ammeters".Rewrite the top of your CV around judgment, people and decisions, not routine output.
