The SAA Career Center was established to offer career advice, counseling, and a chance to mock interview as a way for members to advance their careers and volunteers to give back to the community. Find out more about the Career Center here:

We need your help to continue to make the Career Center a success! Last year, our post-SAA survey results indicated that some people weren't sure how to navigate the Career Center. So this year, we are recruiting Career Center Greeters!
What Does It Take to Be a Greeter?
We are just looking for an hour of your time to do the following:
- Welcome people who walk into the Career Center;
- Tell them about the services offered, and how to sign up;
- Answer questions (or direct them accordingly) that are posed by visitors;
- Smile, and maybe make a new friend or two!
We will send out a Greeter orientation email to all volunteers prior to the start of SAA.
During this year's SAA Annual Meeting in Washington, DC, the Career Center is open as follows:
- Wednesday, August 15: 8:00 am – 4:30 pm
- Thursday, August 16: 8:00 am – 10:00 am; 10:30 am - 4:30 pm
- Friday, August 17: 8:00 am – 4:30 pm
Interested?
If you are interested in being a Career Center Greeter, please sign up using this Google spreadsheet.
