As a CAA member, you have access to a diverse range of mentors during Career Services at the 2013 Annual Conference. All emerging, midcareer, and even advanced art professionals can benefit from one-on-one discussions with dedicated mentors about artists’ portfolios, career-management skills, and professional strategies. You may enroll in either the Artists’ Portfolio Review or Career Development Mentoring. Deadline extended: January 4, 2013.
Mock Interview Sessions
Organized by CAA’s Student and Emerging Professionals Committee, the Mock Interview Sessions at the Annual Conference allow participants the chance to practice their interview skills one on one with a seasoned professional, improve their effectiveness during interviews, and hone their elevator speech. Interviewers also provide candid feedback on application packets. Deadline extended: January 4, 2013.

Deadline: December 14, 2012.
