Just to tag along on Deb's excellent comments...and this is for any new
graduate going on interviews...I've always, always, felt that the museum
field is chock full of dynamic personalities. (this list will bear that
out). The strong minded, creative, innovative are found in droves in the
profession...and you need to make sure that you put forth all of your best
effort in selling yourself. All the qualifications in the world won't get
you very far if you seem like a bump on a log...you need to be able to sell
your institution in this day and age. The small amount of interviewing for
new hires I've done left me really concerned about the casual attitude many
people have toward their careers. You've got to pull out the big
guns...this ain't no ordinary profession...
I'm just sayin'...
