AI won't fire you—someone using AI will.
While you're manually tweaking your CV for hours, other candidates are using AI to apply to 20+ perfect-fit roles in the same time.
The playing field just shifted.
Redundancy in 2026 has never been less about individual failure — and never been harder to feel that way in the moment. UK notifications are at a multi-year high. You're not the outlier. You're the pattern.
The people who move through redundancy fastest aren't always the most qualified. They're the ones who restart with a system rather than a panic. That distinction is learnable — and it matters more than the circumstances that got you here.

A third of candidates are pulling out of AI-led interviews the moment they realise there's no human on the other end. That's not anxiety — that's a rational response to a format most people have never actually trained for. 🧵
The brutal irony: AI in hiring has made human preparation MORE important, not less. You can't charm an algorithm. You can only out-prepare it. The withdrawal rate exists because most people haven't realised this yet.
Meta's job cuts weren't about performance. They were about which skills AI has made redundant. Most people won't realise their CV has the same problem until it's too late. 🧵
The hidden skills gap: the market shifted in 2024–2025. Most CVs haven't. If your CV reads like a task list, you're describing work an AI agent can now do cheaper. That's not a scare story — it's a gap worth closing.

Meta's AI layoffs and Sunak's jobs warning aren't the same story. One is a tech company optimising. The other is a structural shift in what the UK labour market values. Most people aren't treating them that way.
The mistake is treating this as binary — 'safe job' vs 'at-risk job'. Your Threat Score isn't about your job title. It's about which specific skills inside your role are vulnerable and which ones just became more valuable. That's a different question entirely.
