How to remain "relevant" in the job market

I am "older", oh well, it happens to everyone.

I work in operations for a life-science company in NYC, and unfortunately the company is on its way out due to mismanagement and lack of funds.

Through the years I have carved myself a niche where I am a ops guy with strong systems/data science (more like data analytics) skills.

And now I have become an experts in AI tools in my industry (not that many, yet).

I have been looking for a job on and off for 9 months now, and I sent lots of resumes out, but very few interviews, and no offers.

But both during my interviews and in the job posts, I don't see any mentions of AI skills, AI tools. This is 2024 after all, and I am in NYC!!!

Am I missing something? Where/How do I find innovative companies that are looking for AI (and data) savvy workers?

T.I.A.
