I invited her privately, but thanks for the referral. The link to MuseJobs is http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MuseJobs. We have 2450+ members as of today. The jobs from this list are forwarded, and we have a number of institutions who post their positions themselves. There's terrific support from a number of individuals in assisting the group including Jim Roberts of the UK, Julia Moore and Martha Katz-Hayman of the US.
We provide you job leads, resume and interview pointers, employment law, and the state of the job market (i.e., jobs are up/down). Currently, given the state of the US economy, my plan is to again look for jobs with transferrable job skills. Our messages are archived, the list is moderated, and spammers are banned.

Kimbery, Internships do help. Also, I can recommend joining the MuseJobs listserve. They often post jobs that aren't posted on this listserve. As someone with tons of historic site experience and is struggling to find a job I can sympathise. I was downsized 6 months ago from a great historic site that could just not afford to keep me, what with the downturn in the economy/gas prices/ loss of revenue. Many sites are going with volunteers only now, which can be frustrating. Good luck!

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] seeking museum employment opportunities
hello all,
I am brand new to this list serv, and i would like to utilize it by sending a little blurb about me and what i'm looking for. If anyone at all can help or give advice, it would be greatly appreciated.
I'm 23, i graduated a year ago from Valparaiso University with a BA in History and Latin. i spent 3 weeks that following summer at an Archeological Dig in Macedonia through the Commuity College of St. Louis. I have worked at a local art gallery for 4 years, and the well known museum in my home town, in Dearborn MI, The Henry Ford. I have been a historical presenter at Greenfield Village there for 7 years now, and currently still presenting. I would like to stay within the museum field for a career, but i am finding that jobs along this line are difficult to come by. i guess my question is this. Is there any place anyone knows of where i can get an entry level position that has room for advacement, or would it be in my best interest to go back to school for a Masters degree? I would work in any kind of museum atmosphere but i am partial to historic sites. I have a lot to offer, yet i'm just not finding the right places that are looking for it.
Thanks a lot everyone.
Kimberly
