  4. Prepare a learning case with document analysis, applicable rules, risks and a reasoned final opinion.
  5. Review 20–30 vacancies and choose only courses or certificates that repeatedly appear in employer requirements.
  6. Rewrite your résumé for AI Compliance Officer, add the case and begin with test applications, internships, projects or adjacent tasks at your current employer.
