In the light of recent jobs advertised in the #museum sector, some thoughtful words here:

@MandHAdvisor It’s all about money…again https://t.co/8etyLPGzEs

This! ⬇️ but for all collections!

Periodic reminder:

Before digitization, before access, before anything and everything comes cataloguing.

Usually no one appreciates the unglamorous, tedious work that goes on behind the scenes to make things accessible.

So: Fund basic archival processing!!!

When I see how rarely cultural orgs post online (for good reason, there's too much shit to do), I'd like to see an experiment where somebody employs a terminally online person who knows their topic who's allowed to focus on pure posting

[Gillian Suss @GillianSuss]

Genius!

[Gillian Suss @GillianSuss]

@the_museumfolk Nope. But I have condition reported conversations and presentations!

[Glasses wearing American @jessinhtx]

Someone start a resume writing and recruiting business that gets recovering museum professionals 6 figure jobs reimagining their skills into other fields.

I promise yall it's not ghetto over here. We have money left over after checks and benefits. No terminal degree necessary!

[Gillian Suss @GillianSuss]

Love this! I save most of my weird and wonderful for interviews and once and if I get a position. But due to a couple different jobs, I have a better understanding of puppets than I ever thought I would need or want. Love Puppets!

[MuseumHour @museumhour]

Q1. What weird and wonderful museum skill have you put on your CV?

Recruiters, what’s the best skill you’ve seen on a CV?

As always start your answer with A1 & include #MuseumHour

We'll be adding some of our committes' answer below too :D

[Gillian Suss @GillianSuss]

[Gillian Suss @GillianSuss]

Or *safely. Please touch carefully, respectfully, and safely!

[Gillian Suss @GillianSuss]

I just got to participate in two of my absolute FAVORITE things to do as a museum pro - hang out in a gorgeous, empty gallery and get a tour of it with an educator who helped plan and develop its installation. #ITweetMuseums #DoesAnyoneElseStillTweetMuseums

[Gillian Suss @GillianSuss]

Also! In the Rocks and Minerals galleries @amnh if you can reach it, you can touch it! Be careful! But if it’s not behind glass or stanchions and you can do it sawfly, touch the things!
