EMPLOYER INFORMATION

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

How Does the Employment Center Work?
Information about the job seekers is available to registered employers via our Web site. You are free to contact candidates that you are interested in talking with in Long Beach and schedule interview times. In the meantime, registered job seekers 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 will it Cost?
Both options below allow you to submit unlimited job vacancies:

$300 - Unlimited access; skirted table and three chairs

$400 - Unlimited access; private curtained booth
Unlimited access allows you total control over the table or booth.

Many employers return to the AAEA Annual Meeting Employment Center year after year. Why? Because there is no more cost effective way to interview a group of highly qualified candidates; students and new professionals who can immediately put their knowledge to work on your behalf.

When and Where is the Employment Center?
