Subject: What would YOU call an entry level job? (was SEEKING AN ENTRY LEVEL
JOB)

>Just out of curiosity, what would you term an "entry level job?"


A front desk receptionist, file clerk, custodial worker, clerk-typist --
these are the most readily available "entry level jobs" in the museum field.
The Education Assistant, etc. jobs are true "professional" entry-level
openings, but there are obviously far more applicants than actual openings.

A graduate-degreed historian was willing to take a clerical job, in one
instance I was involved in, just to get in the door.   After five years,
just the right opening was created at this institution, and she was the most
well qualified.  And she's well satisfied 15 years after starting as a file
clerk.
