San Francisco Career Fair Dec. 2: Free Sit-Down Interviews at Embassy Suites Burlingame

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — The 27th Annual San Francisco Career Fair lands on Wednesday, December 2, and it trades the folding-table shuffle for sit-down interviews with people who can actually hire you. Diversity Career Group runs the free two-hour fair at the Embassy Suites on Anza Boulevard in Burlingame, just down U.S. 101 from SFO, with recruiters filling sales, health care, IT, finance, government, skilled trade, retail and customer service jobs.

Free, open to entry-level job seekers, new grads and experienced professionals, and built around face-to-face interviews. Professional dress is required, and the organizer wants at least 12 resumes in your bag.

💼 What Kind of San Francisco Jobs Are on the Table

This is a general professional career fair, not a single-employer recruitment. The organizer describes the room as decision makers from nationally recognized companies, and its listing points job seekers toward sales, customer relations and technology solutions, with business, corporate, finance, health care, government, skilled trade, IT and retail roles in the mix too.

The format is the draw: a real sit-down conversation instead of a 30-second pitch over a brochure table. The lunch-hour window means someone working in SoMa, the Financial District or the office parks along the Peninsula can make it without burning a full day off.

⚠️ Read This Before You Head Down the Peninsula

It is in Burlingame, not San Francisco. The fair carries the San Francisco name, but the hotel sits in San Mateo County on the bay side of 101. Put the street address into your map, not the event title.
No employer list has been published. The event page does not name the companies taking part, so you won't know exactly who is hiring until you walk in.
No pay figures have been posted. Sales roles at general fairs often mix base pay with commission. Ask each recruiter how the money works before you agree to a second interview.
It runs only two hours. Show up at 1:15 and the busiest tables may already be wrapping up.

📋 How to Show Up Ready

The organizer is specific, and professional attire is listed as required, not suggested. Pack the basics:

At least 12 printed copies of your resume
Your printed registration ticket, which the organizer says gets you first entry
Interview clothes, even if the job you want is casual day to day
A short list of questions about training, schedules, base pay and commission
A transit plan: Caltrain and SamTrans both serve Burlingame, and 101 at lunchtime is never a sure thing
