Chris,
I have had the same experience. In a word of advice, GET OUT, now. They will use you for as long as they can and you will not get a job out of it. I know this is hard to hear, I've been trying to get a full time job at a museum for years. It seems to me that volunteering will get you no futher with the organization. Good luck in your hunt.
Janet Wilzbach, M.A.
