Session 2: Career Storytelling & Interviewing in the AI Era

​As AI reshapes engineering work, it is also reshaping how engineers are evaluated, hired, and positioned in the job market.

​This session focuses on how engineers can effectively navigate career transitions, interviews, and storytelling in an AI-driven hiring landscape.

​We’ll explore:

• ​How to tell your “AI story” in interviews and career conversations

• ​What hiring managers are actually evaluating today

• ​How to position non-AI experience in AI-heavy roles

• ​How AI is changing screening, interviewing, and assessments

• ​What job transitions, layoffs, and pivots look like in practice

• ​The skills that still differentiate engineers in a shifting market

​This is a candid, experience-driven conversation about how engineers are actually moving through the job market right now, not theoretical advice.
