Track which employers are named here and check their careers page for fresher roles this week.

Shortlist three companies affected by this and prepare company-specific answers.
Ask your placement cell whether the roles on campus have changed shape this year.
Convert one classroom project into a two-page case study you can attach to applications.

What this changes for your job search this week

Pick one story above and write 150 words on why it matters to your field. That is interview material.
Update one section of your resume or LinkedIn profile using the language employers used in these reports.
Send one message to a working professional in a company named above and ask what changed for their team.
Do a two-minute spoken summary of this briefing, record it, and listen back for clarity and pace.

Reading the news is not preparation. Turning it into a sentence you can say out loud in a room full of recruiters is. That is the gap most candidates never close, and it is the cheapest one to close.
