Adapt your resume

List these exact terms on your resume: RAG, Claude, Databricks, Cursor, and Claude Code. An applicant tracking system matches the wording, not the idea.
Attach one line of real, concrete experience to at least one of them. A tool named with nothing behind it rarely survives a human read.
Lead with what you built, trained or shipped. This role is judged on the AI system itself, not the tools around it.
