Tech Talk | What It Takes to Get Hired: Insider Tips from a Hiring Manager
Overview
What really makes a hiring manager say yes? For many candidates, the challenge isn’t a lack of skills but understanding how hiring managers actually think, what they look for in applications, and how to present experience in a way that truly resonates. When you know how to communicate your value clearly and strategically, even a non-traditional background can become a powerful advantage.
In this live session, senior engineering leader Kelly Vaughn will share what truly stands out in applications, how to position your experience so it lands, and the common mistakes that quietly take candidates out of the running. You’ll learn how to leverage your unique background as a strength, what hiring managers look for beyond technical skills, and how to communicate your value with clarity and confidence.
Kelly will also share insights on approaching your job search strategically and will wrap up with an open Q&A where attendees can get personalized, practical advice.
Join us on Friday, December 12 at 1 PM PT | 3 PM CT | 4 PM ET for this practical and empowering Tech Talk designed to help you stand out in today’s competitive hiring landscape.
