Stop and think for a minute about the people who do not get the job
you for which you apply. In any given position there are a number of
people who do not even get an interview, then a certain number who get
one interview, and even a smaller number who get a second interview
before the postion is awarded. The point is for every person who gets
a position there is a large number of people who are qualified and
worked just as hard as you did, but only one person could get the
position. I have been looking for almost 9 months, networking, sending
blind resumes, using Adviso, and searching the internet but have found
absolutly nothing in or out of the museum world. I applaud you for
getting three offers, but not everyone is that lucky.
