Using Copilot is quickly becoming common — but it’s no longer enough to stand out.
“What Hiring Managers Expect Beyond ‘Using Copilot’” explores the skills, mindset, and engineering maturity that employers look for in an AI-assisted development world. This session goes beyond tool usage to focus on problem-solving ability, system thinking, code quality, collaboration, and responsible use of AI.
Attendees will gain insight into how hiring managers evaluate candidates who work with Copilot, what red flags to avoid, and how to demonstrate real value beyond AI-generated code. The talk highlights how developers can position themselves as strong engineers who use AI thoughtfully — not as a replacement for core skills.
Ideal for developers, students, and professionals who want to stay competitive and relevant in a rapidly evolving job market.
