Connecting employers and potential employees

Make plans to participate in the SPIE Job Fair at Photonics West. Job seekers hone interviewing skills and connect with potential employers. Companies use this event to search out and meet potential new hires.

Free admission for candidates


Whether you're looking for a better job, re-entering the workforce, or just starting out, plan to visit the Job Fair. Come prepared to discuss your skills and talents with industry leading companies. Free to participate but registration is required. 

What you get

  • Gain visibility with hiring companies
  • A variety of employers and hundreds of job opportunities
  • Network with employers and industry peers 

Tips

  • Be prepared to tell the recruiter about yourself in less than two minutes – it's essential to make an immediate impact
  • Write down everything you want them to know about you and then condense it as much as possible
  • Practice it until you feel comfortable, and ask everyone you know to listen to your story
  • During these practice sessions focus on talking slowly, because when you're nervous you're bound to speed up
  • Remember, the more you practice, the less likely you are to make a mistake during the actual conversation
