Description
This year's Solar Job Fair will have an estimated 20 Bay Area solar companies in attendance who will be actively seeking candidates to fill their open positions. Along with the traditional job fair set up, we will have additional resources for job seekers. These include:
  • Practice Interview Station where participants can practice their responses to interview questions and get feedback on the spot.
  • Resume Feedback Station where participants can go over their resumes with solar professionals to receive feedback on formatting, content, and other areas of improvement
  • Professional Photo Booth where participants will have the opportunity to get a professional photo that can be used on LinkedIn or other professional purposes
  • 30 Minute Break Out Sessions on topics that will be valuable to job seekers at any point throughout their solar careers

Please come prepared with copies of your resume, professional certificates you've earned (OSHA, NABCEP, etc), and any other materials you think will support you in the job application process. Recommended attire is business casual but feel free to dress for success and wear your most professional outfit. We look forward to seeing you on July 15th!


Employers should arrive between 12:00-12:30pm to set up. Job seekers can arrive beginning at 1:00pm.

The Solar Jobs Fair is FREE TO ALL. Light refreshments will be served.
