Roles you will actually see
Who should go
ASU students on any campus who want East Valley employers, especially in semiconductors, embedded software and aerospace.
Polytechnic gets less traffic than Tempe, which means longer conversations. Intel, TSMC-adjacent suppliers and aerospace firms recruit here; Intel is a heavy H-1B sponsor, while the defense names will usually want citizenship. Check the CareerLink employer list a week out and go for the companies with software or firmware reqs, not general engineering. It is late in the semester, so plenty of employers here are filling spring and summer roles right now.
Show up prepared
- 1Register in ASU CareerLink and pull the employer list before the fair
- 2Flag employers with embedded, firmware or software openings and read two job posts each
- 3Bring a resume that names the tools and languages, not just degrees
Sponsorship reality
Sponsorship varies by employer. No organizer publishes sponsorship. Check each employer you plan to meet against H-1B disclosure data before you go, and ask in the first two minutes so neither side wastes the conversation.
Showing up is half of it.
The other half is being first to the roles these employers post, and having something real to show when you get there.
See roles the minute they go live, tailor one resume per employer, and reach the hiring manager directly. Walk into the event as a follow-up, not a stranger.
