On May 21st 2008, Tel Aviv University is holding the 28th edition of its annual year-end job fair.
Who
Although aimed at students and graduates, the job fair is open to everyone and covers all industries in the Israeli job market.
What
The oldest job fair of its kind in Israel, dozens of companies will be searching to fill hundreds of jobs.
On campus, companies will be organized into 3 zones by industry:
- Business Management Zone – positions in business, finance, accounting, etc.
- Tech Zone – jobs in hitech, biotech, engineering, etc.
- Multidisciplinary Zone – everything else
Important tips: this layout is slightly misleading. For example, an opening for an accounting job at a software company would be found in the Tech Zone. Keeping that in mind, you may want to visit multiple zones.
Also, don't forget the 35+ Job Fair Success Do's and Don'ts.

I’m a little older with some heavy experience under the belt, but I’m looking forward to my 1st Israeli Job Fair 🙂
Even if the focus is on entry level positions or recent graduates / students how can you go wrong meeting local companies face to face!?
thx for the tip!
Sure thing, saus. You make a great point too.
It’s hard enough to get companies to respond to CVs, but here you can get instant feedback. That alone may be a reason to go.
Please, try to give us Americians a little notice on these job fairs. we always seem to hear about them the day before they happen. I can not get a flight to Israel that quick. Maybe 6 weeks or 2 months ahead of time. Thanks (:}
William, I completely understand. I was surprised that I myself only found out about it late last night and had to rush out this announcement.
I apologize, hopefully we can do better next time. In the past, we’ve usually managed at least a couple weeks lead-in.
Intel was kind enough to prepare a list of the coming events:
