I would like to suggest to new graduates that they pick a target area in
which they would like to live, determine which museums they would ever like
to work with, and then check the websites of those museums EVERY MONTH or
call HR and ask about jobs EVERY MONTH if there is no employment button on
the website.  It has been my experience, here especially, that many jobs are
not advertised anywhere except on the website and internally (word of mouth
or job board).  Sometimes it might get into the local newspaper, but not
many jobs are advertised in the AVISO classifieds.  And those that are
advertised in AVISO get so many applications that yours gets lost (again, my
experience).   I would especially recommend checking the website of the
museum I work with (see below) as I know of at least three professional
level jobs available here right now.  They may not be on there yet, but keep
checking!
Good Luck,
