Roles you will actually see
Who should go
UW Bothell CSS and engineering students, especially those targeting Eastside companies.
Bothell draws Eastside employers that skip the Seattle campus fairs, so it is worth it even if you already did UW Seattle. It is all-industries, so expect healthcare and government alongside tech; go straight to the software booths and leave in an hour. Microsoft-adjacent vendors and staffing firms show up here often, and staffing-firm contract roles rarely come with sponsorship, so ask whether the role is direct hire.
Show up prepared
- 1Register on Handshake and shortlist the tech employers
- 2Bring resumes tailored to the CSS program's project work
- 3Ask staffing firms whether roles are W-2 direct or contract-to-hire
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.
