The Career Center at the Annual Meeting

The Career Center at the Annual Meeting (CCAM) is the AAA’s most encompassing recruiting event. The 2019 CCAM will bring candidates and recruiting institutions, from across the world together, to make career connections. Held in conjunction with the AAA Career Center, the 2019 CCAM offers services that make job recruitment affordable and efficient for recruiting institutions and candidates alike. Make sure that you stand apart from the crowd and add the 2019 CCAM Icon to either your resume or job posting. This searchable Icon makes you recognizable as an on-site participant, whether you are a recruiter or candidate.

Recruiters secure your space in the Interview Hall featuring a candidate waiting area and privacy draped tables with seating for 3 people. Tables are reserved on a first come first serve basis, so recruiters be sure to reserve your tables right away. Please note if you will have more than 2 recruiters interviewing, we cannot guarantee extra chairs will be available, consider reserving two tables.

After you have logged in, update any information, if necessary, then get ready to post your resume.

Your resume listing will be posted with the 2019 Annual Meeting CCAM Icon next to it, to indicate to recruiters that you will be attending the Career Center at the Annual Meeting and that you are interested in scheduling interviews.

Choosing the institutions, you would like to interview with and the times during their open schedules in which you would like to meet them is entirely up to you. Be mindful of scheduling, to prevent overlap. If you have posted an anonymous resume, and a recruiter reaches out to you, you have the option of responding back or not.
Candidates will be given instructions to sit in a designated section of the Interview Hall candidate waiting area, based on table numbers of recruiters they are scheduled to meet with.
Candidates are not permitted to enter the Interview Hall unless escorted by the recruiter or University staff member. It is up to the interviewer to find their candidates in the candidate waiting area.
