About this Event

Stop Being Overlooked.

Most professionals only ever see one side of the hiring process. This free one-hour meet and greet gives you the opportunity to hear directly from someone who has spent more than 15 years inside that system.

Daniel Carr has worked in hiring, team scaling, and technical talent strategy at companies including Intuit, Apple, Tesla, and Invisalign. He currently serves as Director of Employer Relations at Carnegie Mellon University, where he works closely with students preparing for careers in cybersecurity, AI, and advanced technology fields.

This session is intentionally informal and discussion-driven. Daniel will talk about:

  • His background and experience inside the hiring system
  • How hiring decisions are really made
  • Common patterns he sees in strong and weak candidates
  • Career positioning and advancement strategies
  • What technical professionals often misunderstand about interviews and recruiting
  • Questions from attendees about careers, hiring, resumes, interviews, and professional growth

This event is ideal for:

  • Professionals looking to move up
  • Engineers preparing for leadership tracks
  • Career changers entering tech
  • Anyone feeling overlooked in the hiring process

Free to attend. Registration required due to limited seating.
