search in Los Angeles and enroll in workshops and

opening of the conference, visit the CAA Online Career
Center to scout the job listings. Listings
are updated frequently. A icon in a job listing indicates that

Candidate Center
Wednesday, February 25–Friday, February 27, 9:00 AM–7:00 PM
West Hall Meeting Room 518, Level 2
At the conference, the Candidate Center is open to all current CAA members. It offers computer access to the Online Career Center so that you can review up-to-the-minute job listings, post a résumé, apply for positions, request interviews, and receive interview-related messages during the conference. Check emails often, as messages are sent regularly. Access to computers is timed and on a first-come, first-served basis.
A conference registration badge is neither required nor accepted for admission to the Candidate Center. Bring your CAA member ID card—you will need it and your member password to enter the center and use the computers there.
FREE Wi-Fi internet access will be available in the Student and Emerging Professional Lounge during the conference, should you choose to bring your laptop.
Interviewer Center
Wednesday, February 25–Friday, February 27, 8:00 AM–7:00 PM
Petree Hall, Level 1
The Interviewer Center provides services for employers. You
do not need to be a CAA member to be an interviewer at the
conference, nor do you need to register for the conference. On
arrival at the conference, please visit the Interviewer Center to
receive your 2009 CAA Interviewer ID card. This card will give
you access to the Interview Hall and to the Interviewer Center’s computers.
During the conference you may use these computers to post
last-minute job listings, update current job listings, and mark listings
with the Career Services icon to let candidates know
you are interviewing onsite. You can also search and view résumés, communicate
with job seekers, schedule interviews, and rent tables
and booths.
Plan ahead: List your job openings and rent tables and booths now! The Career Services online services is available now, so you can let candidates know well in advance that you will be conducting interviews at the conference. Please contact Patricia Holquist at (212) 691-1051, ext. 223.
Interview Hall: Booths and Tables
Wednesday, February 25–Friday, February 27, 9:00 AM–7:00 PM
Saturday, February 28, 9:00 AM–NOON
Petree Hall, Level 1
The Interview Hall offers two formats for interviews: interview booths and interview tables. The interview booths are ideal for prearranged interviews. Each booth is semiprivate and encourages a calm, focused interview environment. Staff at the check-in table will escort interviewees to booths. The interview tables are ideal for employers who have not prescheduled interviews. Job seekers can drop off résumés and portfolios informally and meet prospective employers at tables; interviews may also be conducted at the tables.
Reserve your booth or table now!
Rentals must be paid by Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover credit card only. Please contact Patricia Holquist at (212) 691-1051, ext. 223.
