CASPA hosted the 2018 High Tech Job Fair and Career Talk event
on Saturday, May 5, 2018 from 9:30 am to 3 pm at Crowne Plaza San Jose- Silicon
Valley. It attracts over 500 job seeker attendance with a series of wonderful
and informative career talk, and a well-organized job fair exhibition with
hundreds of open positions!
20 hiring companies attended this year’s job fair, including
Intel, TSMC, ARM, SITRI, Achronix, ITRI, Shenzhen Skyverse Ltd, BOE, HYGON,
C-SKY, SDC, OmniDesign, Hefei Semi Industry, Hefei C.F. MicroElec Equip,
Mattson Tech, OSRAM Opto Semi, Tektronix, Faraday, GLORIA-SEMICON etc. Most of them are also CASPA corporate sponsors.
These hiring companies provide more than 100 positions for job seekers at
various levels, from Vice president/CTO, technical and marketing/sales
managers/directors, system architects, circuit designers, FAEs, layout
engineers, process engineers etc.
This high-tech job fair offered an incomparable face to face
communication opportunity for both job seekers and hiring companies. Most of
hiring companies were invited to give a brief introduction about their
companies and answered questions from the audiences. Some companies invited
their hiring managers to the job fair. If the appropriate applicants were
found, they could be interviewed by these hiring managers directly at a
separate room. A lot of applicants also
take advantage of the on-site opportunities to meet with the hiring managers. These
hiring companies corrected more than 20 resumes on average, and some candidates
have got their offer letters in the past 2 weeks.
To help the
job seekers with their job hunting and career planning, a career talk session
was offered by five experienced career coaches. The topics of the talks are
listed as follows: “Get ahead in Silicon Valley-be a leader, not a Doer” (By
Ron Yu from ExecCatalyst), “Build your career confidence for the future
marketplace” (By Dr. Kailin Wang from Integral Talent Systems), “Powerful
preparation for a fearless interview”(By Marcia Davis-Cannon), “Job search
myths you should stop believing” (By Dr. Tom Zhang) and “Boost your career with
AI and machine learning” (By Dr Keita Broadwater). Most of career talk
videos will be posted on CASPA YouTube channel later.
