Best resources to learn GenAI workflows for the job hunt? (lemmy.zip)

I'm an experienced SSE and I'm about to hunt for a new job for the first time in a few years. I've so far been able to avoid most AI use, with the exception of testing out some code completion with copilot a couple years ago.

Basically every job listing I'm seeing expects some level of AI adoption ("we'll set you up with either Claude or Copilot, so much choice!") so I figured it's time.

What's the best way to get an intro to these tools? I'm curious how people are actually using them in their workflows successfully. I want to give it a fair shake and form my first-hand opinion on these things as tools.

EDIT: I'd also like to hear from those downvoting this post.

from my experience they are usually integrated into the ide the business uses.

I've never been forced into using a specific IDE. Has that been common for you? Also, the idea here is to get some experience before the job.

I mean usually they do not force you to use a particular ide but most places I have been have been dominated by one like visual studio.
