  4. Build a working prototype, publish the code in a repository, and add tests, documentation and a decision record.
  5. Review 20–30 vacancies and choose only courses or certificates that repeatedly appear in employer requirements.
  6. Rewrite your résumé for AI Agent Supervisor, add the case and begin with test applications, internships, projects or adjacent tasks at your current employer.
