Try an AI tool on one task you'd normally do by hand: "Prepare or validate documentation on automated logistics or maintenance-data reporting or management information systems".Learn one AI tool well enough to show it in an interview, for: "Conduct logistics studies or analyses, such as time studies, zero-base analyses, rate analyses, network analyses, flow-path analyses, or supply chain analyses".Take on work where you sign off, decide or carry responsibility: that part stays human.Rewrite the top of your CV around judgment, people and decisions, not routine output.Read about a lower-risk move: Logisticians.
