AJF Background

"A very well run job fair, the support personnel were very helpful. The best University hosted job fair I've ever attended."

Stanford Engineering
Stanford Engineering is one of the most prestigious engineering schools in the world. The school supports nine departments and awards about 1,500 degrees each year.

There are approximately 50,000 Stanford Engineering alumni of record worldwide, with over 20,000 living and working in California.

Job fair history
Responding to substantial interest from Stanford Engineering alumni, the school held the first AJF on campus in September 2002. The response was very positive: more than 45 recruiting organizations and 600 alumni attended.

Now the AJF attracts 600+ alumni annually with over 90 recruiting companies.  The event features career seminars, free career coach sessions, and, new for 2008, a post-event Alumni Networking Reception to provide our alumni and recruiters time to socialize in a less formal setting.

Alumni attendance
From 500-700 Stanford alumni attend the AJF annually. They represent more than a dozen majors. An overview of alumni degree and experience levels is charted below:
