In fact the US Office of Personnel Management uses a contractor's services
to fill government museum positions. (Presently the positions filled in
this way seem to be limited to the Army museums.) The contractor requires
a resume that can be scanned, with what keywords one can only imagine.
Large school districts screen teachers this way also (Fairfax County, Va.
and Montgomery County, Md. to mention two). I would like to know more
about this as a trend or policy. How do you determine which keywords are
likeliest to yield the best candidates? Who determines the keywords? Is
it a fair process?

Your comments:
I had to completely redo my resume and fill it with the right keywords and
reformat it in a simple RTF file which can be easily scanned or sent as an
e-mail attachment. ... I don't know of any museum that does this nor should
we have to. People can have widely different backgrounds and still be
qualified for a museum job. .
