Janelle, in early 2009, I queried this membership and asked them a number of employment-related questions in order to assist museum candidates. I compiled their responses and updated them in February of 2009 to the MuseJobs files section. They can be found with titles starting "Hiring Help," and there are 3 files. One indicates what a candidate should/should not do, interview pointers, and resume help. You may wish to look at these three PowerPoint files, which can be found here.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Resume Assistance/Job Search Tips
I am a recent graduate of the Museum Communication Program of the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. I graduated in December and have had trouble finding a job in the relative field. I was wondering if anyone would be able to take the time to lend some advice with my resume to determine if there is something I could do to make my experience more noticeable.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
