Subject: Professional advice
I am a recent graduate with a Masters in Public History. I have completed several internships and am doing all that I can to gain valuable experience so that one day I will be able to find a job in the museum profession. I have noticed that these days even getting a job in what is considered an entry level position seems to require a lot of experience. Sometimes it feels like applying for jobs is an uphill battle. I have been considering getting an archival or museum studies certificate in the hopes of gaining more education and experience. I was wondering if people who hire for jobs in this field would give me some advice in this area. Do you think my getting a certificate is worth my time and money, or is it a waste? I am more than happy to continue with internships. Unfortunately, after having gone to graduate school, I really need to find internships that pay and those are few and far between. Any advice would be helpful. I just need to know what I can do to help myself become more marketable to employers in this field.
Thanks,
Tracy Ann
