summary
Laid off after automation eliminates ~80% of a team, narrative turns into concrete job-hunting tactics: use ATS-formatted PDF or DOCX resumes, mirror LinkedIn dates/skills to avoid credibility gaps, keep a running notepad of projects and monthly emailed backups, and use inexpensive AI headshots like TriedOn AI ($21) or HeadshotPro ($29) to improve first impressions. Notes on mindset: 70% experience impostor syndrome, emotional intelligence and diversified freelanceable skills protect against layoffs and overseas role-splitting.
