💼 What Kind of Sacramento Jobs Are on the Table

This is a general professional career fair, not a single-employer recruitment. The organizer says the room will hold decision makers from nationally recognized companies, and it points job seekers toward sales, customer relations, health care, government, technology and other professional fields. Its event listing widens that to IT, education and retail roles as well.

The format is what sets it apart: sit-down conversations with several hiring managers over a lunch hour, rather than a quick handshake at a folding table. That suits anyone in the Arden-Arcade, Natomas or downtown office corridors who can slip away midday.

⚠️ Read This Before You Head to Point West

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.
Expect to finish some applications online. Many employers at general fairs still ask candidates to apply on their own site afterward.
No pay figures have been posted. Many sales roles at fairs like this mix base pay with commission, so ask each recruiter how the money works before you commit.
It runs only two hours. Doors are open 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Arrive late and the busiest tables may already have a line.

📅 Two Sacramento Career Fairs, One Thursday

November 5 is a doubleheader. The SacJobs Fall Career Fair runs 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. the same day at the Scottish Rite Center on H Street in East Sacramento, with state, county and school employers. Different organizer, different room, different employers. The Point West fair wraps at 1:30, leaving time to catch the back half of the East Sac event if you plan the drive.

📋 How to Show Up Ready

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

At least 12 clean printed copies of your resume
Your printed ticket if you registered ahead, which the organizer says gets you in first
Interview clothes, even if the job you want is casual day to day
Questions about training, schedules, base pay and commission
