Many thanks to those of you sticking up for those of us looking for jobs.
In answer to your question Todd, one place that I know of that posts
resumes (including my own) is the Museum Resource Board at
http://seeing2020.com. As for how well it works, that I can't say, but
when looking for a job, it seems like you have to try EVERYTHING,
particularly in this field. What have you got to lose?
