I absolutely LOVE seeing the museums I work in busy & filled with people having a great time! But boy am I ready for February half term to be over; I am shattered 😴 Shout out to all the #FOH staff who work during the busiest periods & provide positive experiences to all 👏🏽

Booking is now open for Moving on Up – a one-day conference for early career museum workers! Check out the programme - w/ practical tips on CVs, starting out as a freelancer, ethical discussions on ‘airbrushed careers’ & sticking to your values #MOU2020 https://t.co/AN2X5a23zK

Amid the "what have you achieved" tweets, a reminder:
🍄 your path may differ from your peers
🍄 it's ok if all you did was get through
🍄 life isn't about endlessly listing achievements
🍄 year markers can be useful for reflection but they are not a stick to beat you with

[Fair Museum Jobs @fair_jobs]

Entry level jobs should look at asking for the actual required skills rather than just "museum experience" so we can open up the sector! And guess what? Skills are transferable from all kinds of places! Good recommendation from @NorfolkMuseums #NPConference2019

[Fair Museum Jobs @fair_jobs]

On the very day that their staff are on strike, @sciencemuseum has advertised another London collections role at *£18.5k*, with previous experience a desirable.

That’s less annual salary than their Director took as a bonus last year. #SMGPay #SMGstrike #ScienceMuseum

[Dr. Laura Humphreys - @Bogarty.Bsky.Social @TweetingBogart]

This week, workers at Museum of London & Science Museum Group are striking over pay.

No one goes into heritage for the money, but people shouldn't have to live in poverty to be public servants.

If you value museums, value the people who keep the doors open.

[North East Emerging Arts + Culture Network @NEEACN]

We would highly recommend this great day conference for anyone who is interested in launching their museum career. @MuseumsAssoc #DontStopMeNow2019

[Tamsin Russell @TamsinRussell]

So excited to be speaking at this for the second time. If you want to work in the sector or find out more about it to make an informed choice then this fun Saturday is right up your street! #Museums visit our website for more information.

[Fair Museum Jobs @fair_jobs]

Definitely. We all do better work if we're not worried constantly about paying the bills! #Museums2019

[Fair Museum Jobs @fair_jobs]

Hey @britishmuseum - if you want practical experience of object handling - why not ask for just that and ditch the qualification demand?

This sort of credentialism is so toxic for our sector.

And no, the fact that it’s desirable and not essential does not = inclusivity.

[North East Emerging Arts + Culture Network @NEEACN]

We are looking to recruit new committee members who would be interested in taking NEEMPG forward as a registered, community group.

Or dropping us a DM and we can chat a bit more about the roles.
