Entity Wrapper: Law Entrance 2026/2027 Quick Facts

The Pathway to the Legal Profession

In the Sri Lankan education hierarchy, the Law Entrance exam is unique because it levels the playing field. Unlike University Grant Commission (UGC) selections that rely strictly on Z-Scores, Law College admission is determined by your performance in the Law entrance examination itself.

After passing the exam, students undergo a rigorous three-year academic program. This culminates in a mandatory six-month practical training period (apprenticeship) under a senior lawyer with at least ten years of experience, followed by enrollment as an Attorney-at-Law by the Supreme Court of Sri Lanka.

Eligibility Criteria: A/L and O/L Requirements

To sit for the exam in August 2026 for the 2027 academic year, you must satisfy two primary academic tiers:

• G.C.E. Advanced Level: You need a minimum of two Credit (C) passes and one Simple (S) pass in three subjects. The “General Common Test” is not counted for this requirement. This applies to both local Sri Lankan A/Ls and UK (Cambridge/Edexcel) A/Ls.
• G.C.E. Ordinary Level: Literacy in English is non-negotiable. You must have a Credit (C) pass in English Language and a Credit (C) pass in your primary language (Sinhala or Tamil).

AI BRAIN + HUMAN HEART — Understanding the Next Shift

The World Changed. Did You Notice?

If you used ChatGPT in 2023 or 2024, you know the experience well. You type a question. The AI thinks. It gives you an answer. Then you copy it, edit it, and do the rest of the work yourself.

That era is over.

In just the first 60 days of 2026 — from February to March — a series of product launches transformed AI from a smart conversation partner into something fundamentally different: an autonomous agent that can take action on your behalf, without you lifting a finger.

This is not science fiction. It is happening right now. And as students and young professionals in Sri Lanka, you need to understand what this means for your education, your career, and your future.

Let me walk you through the 6 key developments that changed everything.

1. OpenClaw — The Agent That Went Viral Overnight

What is it? A free, open-source AI agent that doesn’t just talk — it acts.

In November 2025, an Austrian developer named Peter Steinberger released a small tool called Clawdbot. After two name changes — first to Moltbot after legal complaints from Anthropic, then to OpenClaw in January 2026 — the tool exploded onto the global tech scene in a way nobody predicted.

By February 2026, OpenClaw had surpassed 250,000 GitHub stars — moving past React (the world’s most popular web framework) as the most starred software project ever. At its peak, it was being viewed 2 million times in a single week.

So what does it actually do? OpenClaw connects AI models like Claude, ChatGPT, and DeepSeek to your real-world apps — your email, your calendar, your WhatsApp, your files. Then it acts on instructions you give it through chat.

Imagine telling your phone: “Clear my inbox of spam and summarize the urgent messages.” And it does it. Completely. While you sleep.

• Reads and writes files on your computer
• Sends emails and manages calendars
• Browses the web autonomously
• Runs code and deploys applications
• Controls other apps via 100+ built-in skills

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang called it ‘probably the single most important release of software, ever.’ He said every company now needs an OpenClaw strategy — comparing it to Linux, HTML, and Kubernetes as foundational technology.

Important: OpenClaw also showed us the risks of agentic AI. Security experts found over 500 vulnerabilities. One user’s agent started deleting their entire email inbox and couldn’t be stopped. AI agents that act autonomously require new kinds of responsibility and governance.

The creator of OpenClaw was subsequently hired by OpenAI, and the project moved to an open-source foundation — validation that this ‘hobby project’ changed the industry.

2. Claude Code & Cowork — The Enterprise-Grade Agent

What is it? Anthropic’s professional AI agent suite — secure, powerful, and built for real work.

Anthropic (the company behind Claude AI) released two powerful tools that became the benchmark for enterprise-grade agentic AI.

Claude Code is a coding agent so powerful that a senior Google engineer said it ‘generated what we built last year in an hour.’ It does not just suggest code — it plans, writes, tests, and deploys entire software projects autonomously.

Claude Cowork is a desktop agent that connects directly to your work files and tools — Slack, Notion, Figma, Google Workspace, DocuSign, and over a dozen other platforms. It launched in January 2026 and quickly became the go-to reference for what a ‘safe and responsible’ AI agent looks like.

• Works with your files, not just your questions
• Connects to 13+ enterprise platforms out of the box
• Supports mobile control via the Dispatch feature
• Bundled with Claude Code in a single subscription

While OpenClaw is like a powerful, experimental tool you build yourself, Claude Cowork was described as ‘OpenClaw for grown-ups’ — doing 90% of what OpenClaw can do, in a 90% more secure way.

Anthropic also acquired Vercept, a startup specialising in AI computer use, to make Claude even better at navigating and operating computers directly — not just chatting about them.

For Sri Lankan Students: Claude Code is already being used by professional developers globally. If you are studying software engineering, IT, or data science, learning to work alongside tools like Claude Code is not optional — it is the new baseline skill.

3. NemoClaw — Nvidia Makes Agents Safe for Businesses

What is it? Nvidia’s enterprise wrapper for OpenClaw — adding security, privacy, and governance.

The excitement around OpenClaw was undeniable. But the security risks were equally real. That is where Nvidia stepped in at its GTC 2026 conference — one of the biggest AI events in the world.

Nvidia announced NemoClaw: an enterprise-level version of OpenClaw that layers Nvidia’s own software stack on top of the open-source agent platform. It includes a secure sandbox environment called OpenShell, which prevents AI agents from accidentally (or intentionally) accessing systems they should not.

Think of it this way: OpenClaw is like giving someone a master key to your house. NemoClaw is giving them the same key — but with a security guard watching, a log of every door they opened, and a lock that stops them from entering rooms they were not authorised to enter.

Jensen Huang positioned NemoClaw as a reference architecture — the standard template that companies worldwide should use when deploying AI agents responsibly.

Why this matters for you: As AI agents become standard in workplaces, the professionals who understand both their power and their risks will be most valuable. Technical skill alone is not enough — ethical and governance thinking is becoming a career advantage.

4. Perplexity Computer — One Agent to Rule 19 AIs

What is it? A cloud-based AI agent that orchestrates 19 different AI models to complete complex projects.

On February 25, 2026, Perplexity AI — the company valued at $20 billion — launched something called Perplexity Computer. Despite the name, it is not a physical machine. It is a general-purpose digital worker in the cloud.

Here is what makes it unique: instead of relying on one AI model, Perplexity Computer uses 19 different AI models and assigns each task to the model best suited for it. Claude Opus handles complex reasoning. Gemini Flash handles visuals. GPT handles broad medical or creative queries. The system routes automatically — you just describe the outcome you want.

The tagline says it best:

Perplexity’s tagline: “Chat answers. Agents do tasks. Computer works.”

You can give Perplexity Computer a goal like: ‘Research my top 5 competitors, compile a report, create a slide deck, and email it to my team.’ It runs — possibly for hours, or even days — and delivers the finished output.

Unlike OpenClaw (which runs on your local computer), Perplexity Computer operates entirely in a secure cloud environment. This means no setup, no security risk on your personal machine, and no need to be a developer to use it.

For Sri Lankan Professionals: Perplexity Computer is a sign of where AI is going — away from individual tools and toward AI systems that manage multi-step projects end to end. The skill you need is knowing how to direct these agents well. Clear thinking and structured communication become more valuable than ever.

5. OpenAI’s Desktop Super App — The Code Red Response

What is it? OpenAI merging ChatGPT, its coding agent Codex, and its browser Atlas into a single agentic desktop platform.

March 19, 2026 brought a surprising piece of news: OpenAI — the company that started the AI revolution with ChatGPT — announced it was in a ‘code red’ situation.

The reason? Claude (Anthropic’s AI) overtook ChatGPT as the most downloaded app in the United States in March 2026. Anthropic had quietly built a bundled desktop experience — Claude + Claude Code + Claude Cowork — while OpenAI had been launching too many separate products that confused users.

OpenAI’s response: merge everything into one powerful desktop super app. ChatGPT (conversations), Codex (coding), and Atlas (browser automation) are being unified into a single platform designed for agentic AI work.

The vision is seamless: start a research question in chat, hand it to Codex to write code, have Atlas browse and gather data, and get a finished deliverable — all inside one app, without switching tools.

The bigger picture: Codex, OpenAI’s coding agent, already has over 2 million weekly active users in 2026. The age of the standalone chatbot is ending. The age of the AI platform has begun.

This is not just a product decision — it is a signal about where the entire industry is heading. Single-purpose chatbots are giving way to integrated agent platforms that manage entire workflows.

6. The Shift in How AI Is Used Everywhere

What is it? A fundamental change in how organizations think about AI — from a tool to a workforce.

Beyond these individual products, February and March 2026 mark something larger: the official transition from ‘AI that assists’ to ‘AI that acts.’

According to industry data, IDC projects that 40% of roles in the world’s largest companies will involve direct engagement with AI agents by end of 2026. The agentic AI market is expected to grow from $5.2 billion in 2024 to $200 billion by 2034 — a 38-times expansion.

Companies are no longer asking ‘Should we use AI?’ They are asking ‘How do we manage our AI agents responsibly?’

We are also seeing early signals of what agent-to-agent interaction looks like. On Moltbook — a social platform built for AI agents — agents were observed forming communities, sharing information, and even (in a darkly fascinating experiment) creating their own rules and belief systems before the platform was flooded with automated spam.

This is not a distant future. It is already here.

What Does This Mean for You — As a Sri Lankan Student or Professional?

Let me be direct, because this is the heart of why I wrote this article.

The question is no longer: ‘Will AI take my job?’ The right question is: ‘What will my job look like when AI agents handle routine tasks — and what skills will make me irreplaceable?’

Here is what I believe — and what the evidence shows:

• People who know how to direct AI agents effectively will be in high demand. Jobs are transforming, not disappearing.
• We moved from the ‘Google era’ (finding information) to the ‘Generative AI era’ (creating with AI). The next step is the ‘Agentic era’ — orchestrating AI to complete entire projects. Prompting is a real skill.
• As we saw with OpenClaw, AI agents with too much freedom cause real harm. Humans who understand where to draw the line will always be needed. Ethics and judgment matter more than ever.
• Sri Lanka’s BPO, education, healthcare, and SME sectors are not yet saturated with AI literacy. Early movers gain a massive advantage. Local relevance is an opportunity.
• Understanding how they work, their risks, and their limitations is what separates professionals from novices in 2026. Learning AI tools is not enough.

AI BRAIN + HUMAN HEART: Use AI’s power to work faster and smarter — but bring your empathy, creativity, cultural understanding, and ethical judgment to everything you do. That combination cannot be automated.

Quick Reference: The 6 Agents That Changed 2026

OpenClaw  —  Open-source, local agent. Viral. Powerful. High security risk.

Claude Code  —  Autonomous coding agent. Compresses months of work into hours.

Claude Cowork  —  Desktop agent for work files and enterprise tools.

NemoClaw (Nvidia)  —  Enterprise-secured OpenClaw with guardrails and governance.

Perplexity Computer  —  Cloud agent orchestrating 19 AI models for complex projects.

OpenAI Super App  —  Unified desktop platform: ChatGPT + Codex + Atlas browser.

Final Thought

In 2022, AI gave us a smarter way to search and write. In 2024, it became a collaborator. In 2026, it became a worker.

The students and professionals who understand this shift — who learn to direct agents, maintain oversight, and bring human judgment to AI-powered work — will not just survive this transition. They will lead it.

Sri Lanka has an incredible opportunity right now. The gap between global AI adoption and local AI literacy is a space where early learners can build real careers, real businesses, and real impact.

The question is: are you going to wait and see, or are you going to start learning now?

Next Steps: Explore Claude.ai (free), try Perplexity Computer, follow AI Skills Hub for Sri Lanka-focused AI literacy content, and remember — the best AI tool in 2026 is still a curious, ethical, and critically-thinking human.

Providing that context usually requires heavy typing—a significant barrier for those using mobile devices or managing busy schedules. This guide, curated for the StudentLanka AI & Tech Hub, explores how to leverage multi-modal inputs to bypass the keyboard and achieve elite-level results.

Entity Quick-Reference: AI Input Methods

Strategic Context: Moving Beyond the Text Box

To truly master AI, one must understand that these models are no longer just text engines; they are Reasoning Engines. In our parent category of Educational Technology (EdTech), we emphasize that the quality of output is directly proportional to the “Surface Area” of information you provide.

1. The Screenshot Method: Visual Intelligence

Instead of describing a complex problem—such as a confusing Z-Score calculation table or a snippet from a Government Gazette—simply take a screenshot.

• Sri Lankan Context: Use this to analyze complex exam timetables or verify the authenticity of viral “Education Ministry” news posts.
• The Benefit: AI identifies patterns and text within images faster than you can describe them.

2. Upload Your Raw Thoughts: Data Synthesis

For university students preparing a dissertation or teachers building a syllabus, typing into a chat box is inefficient.

• Strategy: Write your messy, unorganized notes in a Word Doc or Google Doc. Upload the file and ask the AI to “Identify the core themes and structure a 10-page report.”
• The Benefit: It gives the AI the “Big Picture” instantly without the 2,000-character limit of some chat interfaces.

3. Real-time Voice Interaction: The “Virtual Colleague”

With Gemini Live, you can engage in a fluid, back-and-forth dialogue.

• Strategy: While commuting to a lecture or walking between offices, treat the AI as a research assistant. Say, “I have an idea for a project on Sri Lankan sustainable energy. Let’s debate the pros and cons.”
• The Benefit: You can interrupt, clarify, and pivot ideas mid-sentence, which is much faster than iterative typing.

4. Voice-Activated Input (Dictation): The Power of Speech

Sri Lankan users often find it easier to speak their thoughts than to type them, especially when mixing languages.

• Strategy: Use the microphone icon on your Gboard or iOS keyboard. Advanced tools like Super Whisper can even handle “Singlish” or technical jargon with high accuracy.
• The Benefit: You can “write” a 500-word prompt in under two minutes.

• වාසිය: වැරදීම් අඩු වීම සහ කාලය ඉතිරි වීම.

2. ලිඛිත අදහස් ගොනුවක් ලෙස අප්ලෝඩ් කිරීම (Upload Files)

ඔබේ අදහස් සිංහලෙන් හෝ ඉංග්‍රීසියෙන් කොළයක හෝ නෝට් එකක ලියා එය ෆයිල් එකක් ලෙස AI එකට ලබා දෙන්න. උදාහරණයක් ලෙස, මම මගේ දේශනයක (Keynote Address) කරුණු සියල්ල එකවර ලබා දීමට මෙම ක්‍රමය භාවිතා කරමි.

3. හඬ මගින් කතා කිරීම (Voice Mode)

Gemini සහ ChatGPT හි ඇති Voice Mode එක භාවිතා කර ඔබට AI එක සමග සජීවීව කතා කළ හැකිය. ඔබ ගමන් කරන අතරතුර පවා ඔබේ අදහස් විස්තරාත්මකව AI එකට ලබා දීමට මෙය කදිම ක්‍රමයකි.

4. කථන ටයිපින් (Voice Typing)

ඔබේ ස්මාර්ට් දුරකථනයේ ඇති මයික්‍රොෆෝනය (Dictation tool) භාවිතා කර ටයිප් කිරීම වෙනුවට කතා කිරීමෙන් ප්‍රොම්ප්ට් එක සකසා ගන්න. මෙයට අමතරව ‘AI Super Whisper’ වැනි මෙවලම් ද භාවිතා කළ හැකිය.

By Hiran  |  AI Skills Hub  |  February 2025  |  5 min read

Sri Lanka is sitting at just 6% AI adoption. That single number tells an uncomfortable story. While countries around the world are racing to embrace artificial intelligence, we risk being left behind — not because we lack talent, but because we haven’t yet been shown the door.

But here’s the twist. One of the most powerful voices in global technology just handed us the key. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang recently delivered a message that changes the entire conversation around AI — especially for countries like ours. And his message is beautifully simple: you don’t need a computer science degree to use AI. You don’t need to write a single line of code. All you need is the willingness to start.

The 6% Problem — Where Sri Lanka Stands Today

A recent Microsoft study exposed a sobering reality. Sri Lanka ranks among the lowest in the world when it comes to AI adoption. While nations in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and even parts of Africa are integrating AI into their businesses, education systems, and daily workflows, Sri Lanka is still in the early stages of awareness.

This isn’t a reflection of our intelligence or capability. Sri Lankan professionals are brilliant, creative, and resourceful. The gap is not about ability — it’s about exposure and access. Most people in Sri Lanka simply haven’t been introduced to AI tools in a practical, hands-on way. And that’s exactly what this article is here to change.

Jensen Huang’s Game-Changing Message for Emerging Markets

Jensen Huang, the CEO of NVIDIA — the company powering most of the world’s AI infrastructure — recently made a powerful statement that caught the attention of educators, entrepreneurs, and tech leaders worldwide. He said something that felt almost revolutionary:

  “The programming language of the future is human.”

What does this mean? It means the barrier to entry for AI has essentially vanished. You no longer need to understand machine learning algorithms or master Python programming. Instead, you simply need to know how to talk to AI tools — in plain, everyday language. That’s it.

Huang’s argument is that the technology divide between developed and developing nations is not widening — it’s actually closing. Why? Because AI tools are now accessible to anyone with an internet connection. The playing field is levelling out, and countries like Sri Lanka have a rare opportunity to leapfrog ahead if we act now.

Why You Don’t Need a Degree to Use AI

Let’s put this myth to rest once and for all. AI is no longer a tool reserved for data scientists and software engineers. Today, tools like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot are designed for everyday users. A teacher can use AI to create lesson plans in seconds. A small business owner can use it to write marketing copy, analyse customer feedback, or even draft contracts. A manager can use it to summarise reports, prepare presentations, and make faster decisions.

Here are real-world examples of what people are doing with AI right now — no degree required:

• A marketing manager in Colombo uses ChatGPT to generate social media captions and email campaigns in under 10 minutes.
• A university lecturer uses Google Gemini to translate educational content, helping students who struggle with English access world-class material.
• An entrepreneur uses AI to analyse market trends and create business plans — tasks that once required expensive consultants.
• A student uses Perplexity and NotebookLM to research complex topics and summarise academic papers in minutes.

The Real Opportunity for Sri Lanka

Jensen Huang’s core message for emerging markets is not about building AI servers or investing billions in infrastructure. It’s about something far more achievable:

This is the most important shift in mindset Sri Lanka needs right now. The technology already exists. The tools are free or incredibly affordable. What we need is a cultural and organisational shift — a commitment to learning, experimenting, and integrating AI into our daily workflows.

A Practical Plan — How to Move from 6% to 60%

Here is a step-by-step roadmap that individuals, managers, and companies in Sri Lanka can follow today:

1. Start using AI tools today. Download ChatGPT or open Google Gemini. Ask it a question about your work. See what happens. The learning curve is far gentler than you think.
2. Build a daily habit. Use AI for at least one task every day — whether it’s drafting an email, summarising an article, or brainstorming ideas. Consistency matters more than perfection.
3. Stop blocking AI at work. If your organisation restricts AI tools, it’s time for a conversation with leadership. AI is not a threat to productivity — it’s the biggest productivity multiplier of our generation.
4. Invest in practical training. Enrol in hands-on AI courses designed for beginners. You don’t need a background in tech — you just need curiosity and the willingness to learn.
5. Share what you learn. Knowledge spreads fastest when shared. Teach a colleague, post about your experience, or join a community of learners who are on the same journey.

The Bottom Line

Jensen Huang didn’t just talk about the future of technology. He handed a lifeline to every emerging market in the world — including Sri Lanka. The message is clear: the era of needing a degree or deep technical knowledge to benefit from AI is over. The programming language is now human. The tools are here. The only missing ingredient is action.

Sri Lanka doesn’t need to catch up. We need to leap forward. And that journey starts with one simple step — picking up an AI tool and asking it your first question.

Are you ready?

Google has now integrated Gemini AI directly into Gmail. You no longer need to switch between tabs or copy-paste text into a separate chatbot. With this integration (available for Google Workspace and Google One AI Premium users), you can chat directly with your inbox.

Gemini in Gmail: Quick Reference Data

Leveraging Gemini for Academic and Professional Success

1. The “Smart Search” (Stop Scrolling!)

Standard Gmail search can be clunky. Gemini allows you to ask natural questions about your inbox to find specific data without opening a dozen emails.

• The Problem: Finding specific numbers or data hidden in multiple emails (e.g., Z-Score updates or registration counts).
• The Prompt: “Search my email and check how many registered for my nas.io course this month.”
• The Result: Gemini scans your inbox, extracts relevant numbers, and provides a summary instantly.

2. Summarize Long Emails & Circulars

In Sri Lanka, university circulars and project updates can be incredibly dense. Instead of reading every word, let the AI highlight the essentials.

• The Prompt: “Summarize this email.”
• The Result: You receive core messages and action items, allowing you to prioritize your workload without the “wall of text” fatigue.

3. Draft Responses in Seconds

Whether you’re a lecturer responding to students or a freelancer dealing with clients, writer’s block is a productivity killer.

• The Prompt: “I am unable to conduct the AI workshop this Sunday, suggest an alternative date and write a reply.”
• The Result: Gemini drafts a professional, polite response. You simply review, tweak for a local touch, and hit send.

4. Triage Your Inbox (Urgent vs. Spam)

When you wake up to 50+ notifications, it’s hard to know where to start. You can ask Gemini to act as your personal secretary.

• The Prompt: “Read my emails and select which needs urgent attention and which looks like spam.”
• The Result: It separates the signal from the noise, ensuring you don’t miss important deadlines while ignoring the clutter.

How to Access Gemini in Sri Lanka

Currently, this feature is available to users with the Google One AI Premium plan or Google Workspace accounts (University/Enterprise). If you don’t have access, consider using the Comet Browser or AI sidebar extensions in Chrome as a free alternative to achieve similar results.

The problem often isn’t your qualification or your Z-Score; it is how you have communicated your value. Today, you don’t need to hire an expensive career coach. You can use free AI tools like Google Gemini or ChatGPT to act as your personal career strategist.

Quick Comparison: Manual Writing vs. AI-Assisted CVs

Before we dive into the prompts, here is why you need to switch your strategy immediately.

1. The “Gap Analysis” (Check Your Match Score)

Recruiters in top Sri Lankan companies and foreign agencies do not read every word. They scan for specific keywords. If your CV does not strictly match the Job Description (JD), your application often gets ignored.

Use this prompt to perform a “Gap Analysis” on your current CV.

How to do it:

1. Copy the text of your current CV.
2. Copy the Job Description from the advertisement (e.g., TopJobs, LinkedIn).
3. Paste both into the AI and use this prompt:

The Prompt:

“Act as a senior recruiter and give me a match score out of 100 based on my attached CV and the pasted job description below. Tell me strictly the missing keywords and hard skills I need to add to reach an 85% match.”

Knowledge Architect Tip: Do not aim for a 100% match. If your CV is a perfect copy of the job description, it looks suspicious. Aim for an 85-90% match score to look natural yet highly qualified.

2. The Google Recruiter Formula (The XYZ Method)

A senior recruiter at Google popularized the “XYZ Formula” for resume bullet points. Most Sri Lankan students write generic lists like “Member of the Commerce Society” or “Responsible for sales.” This tells the employer nothing about your ability.

The Formula:

• X: What you accomplished
• Y: How it was measured (Numbers/Percentages)
• Z: How you did it

The Prompt:

“Rewrite my bullet points using the Google XYZ formula: ‘Accomplished [X] as measured by [Y], by doing [Z]’. Here is my current bullet point: [Paste your sentence here]”

Real World Example:

• Before: “Responsible for organizing the school Big Match souvenir.”
• After: “Raised Rs. 500,000 in sponsorship ads (X), representing a 20% increase from last year (Y), by leading a team of 10 students to target local businesses (Z).”

3. The ATS Scan (Beat the Bots)

Many large companies use ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems). These are software bots that read your CV before a human ever sees it. If you use fancy graphics, complex columns, or Canva templates with heavy designs, the bot cannot read your text, and you get rejected instantly.

The Prompt:

“Act as an ATS filter and scan my resume text below. Which sections, fonts, or formatting structures would a bot struggle to parse? Give me a readability score and suggest formatting fixes.”

4. The Interview Prep (Predict the Questions)

Once your CV is fixed, you will start getting calls. Don’t walk into the interview blind. You can use AI to simulate the “Viva” or interview process.

The Prompt:

“Act as the hiring manager for this specific role. Ask me the 3 hardest technical and behavioral questions you would ask a candidate. Then, provide the best, most impressive answers I can supply for those questions using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result).”

Summary for StudentLanka Readers

Getting a job is competitive, but working smarter with AI gives you an unfair advantage.

1. Check your score against the specific job ad.
2. Use the Google XYZ formula to prove your impact.
3. Make it bot-readable for ATS systems.
4. Prepare for the hard questions before you walk in.
