Also - keep in mind that you may have skills that you might not
immediately think are applicable to museum work. I got my first museum
job in college - as a somewhat dissatisfied architecture student, I
volunteered to draft exhibition plans for a student exhibition that a
friend was working on, and was subsequently hired to draft for the
college museum's exhibition designer. It never would have occurred to me
to think of my drafting skills as a possible "in" to the museum field
before I actually did it - what kinds of "non-traditional" skills do you
have that might possibly be applicable?
