As of 13 August 2026, AI can find jobs that match your transferable skills.

What to actually do

1. Use a tool built for this

   The route this page recommends

2. Do it yourself

   Second choice

   A chat interface, chat-fluent skill, and roughly 30 minutes until you can act on the result.

   How to actually do it

   1. Open your current CV and write down your roles, responsibilities, achievements, qualifications, software, industries and the types of work you want to leave or keep.
   2. Set your practical limits for location, commuting, remote work, salary, hours, contract type, start date and any duties or industries you will not accept.
   3. Open a chatbot and paste the prompt, replacing every bracketed slot with your own information and attaching or pasting your CV.
   4. If the chatbot can browse, ask it to search current UK vacancies and preserve the employer and source link for every result; otherwise paste the job adverts or links you have found.
   5. Ask for the shortlist to be ranked by evidence from your experience, with essential requirements and training gaps shown separately for each role.
   6. Open each source link and compare the employer, closing date, location, working pattern, salary and essential requirements with the drafted shortlist before saving or applying.
   7. Remove any vacancy that is closed, duplicated, unsuitable or dependent on experience you cannot honestly evidence, then save the remaining roles and tailor your CV to each advert.

   Prompt

   Find UK jobs that match my transferable skills.
   
   My experience and evidence:
   [Paste my CV or describe my roles, responsibilities, achievements, qualifications and tools used]
   
   My constraints:
   - Target locations or remote preference: [insert]
   - Minimum salary: [insert or say flexible]
   - Employment type: [permanent, temporary, contract, part-time or other]
   - Working pattern and hours: [insert]
   - Industries I will consider: [insert]
   - Industries or duties I will not consider: [insert]
   - Notice period or start date: [insert]
   
   Use only information I provide about my background. Separate transferable skills from skills I do not yet have. Suggest role titles and explain the evidence from my experience that supports each match. If you can browse, search for current UK vacancies and include the employer, location, salary if stated, closing date if stated, source link and a short list of essential requirements. If you cannot browse, ask me to paste job adverts or links rather than inventing vacancies.
   
   Rank the results by realistic fit, not by how attractive the job sounds. Flag missing essential requirements, unclear information, likely training needs and any vacancy that may be outdated. Do not claim that a job is still open unless the source confirms it. Give me a shortlist of no more than ten roles, followed by three specific search terms I can use on UK job sites. Do not invent employers, vacancies, salaries, qualifications or experience.

   Open it prefilled in ChatGPT or Claude, or copy it into Gemini, which takes no prefill link.

3. Hand it to a person

   The distant third

   A person who owns the outcome does this end to end, worth it when the failure is dear.
