What repeated behaviors from hiring institutions drive you batty? What would you like to see change?

[Mike Madeja @mikedoesmuseums]

Reminder to self: at end of hiring period, make a thread of do's and don'ts when applying to part-time #museum jobs. What are some really basic missteps y'all have seen in #MuseumEd hiring/apps?

[PA Museums @PA_Museums]

We are looking for a few good nominations! There's even an award for EMP's. cc: @phillyemp https://t.co/bRnzkC3shR

@museum_exhibits @AASLH Keep putting on the pressure! We’ve been after orgs to adopt these standards since last spring. If more people add their voices, more orgs will follow!

[Visitor Experience @vexgroup]

[Visitor Experience @vexgroup]

Yes it does. Philadelphia’s rich history deserves a museum space ample enough to handle our story and a team of dedicated stakeholders who care enough to interpret that story.

[Philly EMP @phillyemp]

NEW GAME:
1. post a gif that sums up your biggest frustrations with job atm.
2. sign up for Vent & Zen (link below)
3. Meet other EMPs who share your frustrations and aspirations
4. Become best friends (or not, whatever, we're not the boss of you)

[Philly EMP @phillyemp]

Rough week? Feeling frustrated with the field? The world? Our first vent & zen session is less than 2 weeks away! Come talk about your issues and then take some deep cleansing breaths with fellow Philly EMPs. #justEMPthings #thisisnotanetworkingevent

Just a reminder that we will contact institutions on behalf of potential candidates so that you don't have to appear "greedy" for needing full time work with benefits and a living wage. Send us a message! #JustEMPthings

Is thing still on? Great. Keep the evening of July 25th open on your calendar for some museum professional self care 🧘‍♂️🍻☺️

[Philly EMP @phillyemp]

@davidwain @Wittwering @MuseumHack @phillyemp has changed its standards for job postings in an attempt to make entry into the field more equitable, @museumhack followed suit. I’m hoping more orgs like @AAMers do the same.

[Visitor Experience @vexgroup]

And how many museums point at their frontline staff and say “there’s our diversity” without addressing the fact that they don’t advance frontline staff? #AAM2018 https://t.co/U8nDrPQuE0

[Philly EMP @phillyemp]

@ColumnHugger @Virginia_EMP We’re looking to start in May, we’ll let you know how it goes!

[Philly EMP @phillyemp]

A4. We’re working on a program called “Vent & Zen” - an hour of discussing issues followed by an hour of restorative yoga. (followed by drinks) #justEMPthings #VEXChat

[Virginia Emerging Museum Professionals @Virginia_EMP]

A4. Simply getting together with other EMPs, having a drink and enjoying each other company. Not every happy hour needs to be a depressing discussion of how we need to fix things. #VEXChat #justEMPthings #VaEMP https://t.co/Q4a89ISb2o
