SAA Career Center Call for SAA Career Center Greeters

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.

Sign up is on a first come, first serve basis; the deadline to sign up is August 1, 2018.

You will receive a confirmation of your time slot with the orientation email prior to the Annual Meeting.

If you have any questions, please contact me at lstarr@historyassociates.com or 410-245-1607.  Your participation is so very much appreciated!

Thank you,
