APPLICANT INFORMATION

On-line registration for the Employment Center is now closed. You must register on-site in order to participate.

What is the AAEA Employment Center?
The AAEA Employment Center is a unique opportunity for job candidates and employers to conduct interviews while already conveniently on-site for the AAEA annual meeting. This service has been invaluable through the years for both candidates and employers.

How Does the Employment Center Work?
Candidates who register for the Employment Center must also register for the AAEA Annual Meeting. In or before late June, we will make information about the job vacancies available to registered job candidates. You are then free to contact employers that you are interested in talking with in Providence and schedule interview times. In the meantime, registered employers are looking at your information and are able to contact you to schedule an interview. Once you arrive on-site, you will check in at the Employment Center. All of your interviews will be conducted at the Employment Center. Once on-site, information will be available in the Employment Center via paper. There will be no computers provided in the Employment Center. The information, however, will be left up on the Internet, so if you have your own computer on-site and have Internet access, you will be able to continue to access the information electronically. Scheduling on-site will be done on a Bulletin Board.

How Much Does it Cost?
The cost for participating is a non-refundable nominal $15 if you register before June 15 and $20 if you register after June 15. The AAEA Employment Center draws over 150 job candidates each year. Why? Because the AAEA Employment Center has a reputation for helping job candidates in the Agricultural and Applied Economics field find what they are looking for!

When and Where is the Employment Center?
