FAQs

How does Jobfair® work at SJSU?
Jobfair® allows you to submit a redacted resume and a pre-recorded audio pre-interview for employers to browse. If an employer is interested, they can request to connect. If you agree, your contact details are shared; if not, they remain confidential.
How can I get listed on Jobfair®?
Upload your resume, and then record your pre-interview.
Can all SJSU students use Jobfair®?
Yes! All San Jose State University students and grads with a sjsu.edu email address are eligible to get listed on Jobfair®.
Why is my name redacted and hidden from employers?
Ongoing research beginning in the early 2000s has shown that names can affect recruitment decisions. To promote fairness and privacy, Jobfair® hides names until you've accepted an employer's request to connect.
Is Jobfair® free for job-seekers?
Yes! All San Jose State University students and grads can use Jobfair® for free.
What's a Pre-Interview?
It's a reusable audio clip, where you answer a common interview question, which is then attached to your redacted resume. Employers who are recruiting SJSU students for internships and full-time jobs can quickly reach out and move the interview process along both before or after the in-person career fair. You may re-record every 90 days.
What can employers view?
Employers see your redacted resume and listen to your Pre-Interview. Names and contact info are hidden unless you accept a connection request.
What's next after sharing my contact info?
You proceed with the company's interview process. Jobfair® simply handles the initial connection.
Does Jobfair® replace the in-person SJSU career fair?
No! San Jose State University holds a number of career fairs, events and mixers on campus. Jobfair® simply exists to facilitate interview requests before and after these events — and you should still plan on attending them.
