Dear List Members,

For the past two years I have been trying to land a job in a museum
education department.  I completed my MA in Art History in 1999 and
currently work as an art cataloger in a university slide collection.  My
question, for any and all interested, is how do I break into the field?
Because I work full-time I cannot intern at a local museum, although in the
past I have interned at museums and galleries.  To keep my educational
experience growing I work as an adjunct professor at a local community
college in the evenings.  I thought this experience would help my quest, but
it seems to have done the opposite!  I apply for entry-level work as an
educator and my resumes receive no replies.  I apply for mid-level work to
the same end.  Does anyone have any insight?  Do I need another degree?  How
do I gain the experience required?  Thanks in advance.  Please reply to me
off list.

Sincerely,
LT
