American Museum Experience

I am interested in the Maine Rural AmeriCorps Outdoor Adventure position that was advertised on OutdoorEd.com. This position combines my love of nature and educating people, especially children, in an outdoor setting where everyone can experience and learn about the world around us. The Midcoast Conservancy is wonderful organization that connects people to place and place to people via

This internship focused on education within the five part museum system. My role included giving tours of the Art on Campus Collection and helping with programming. Giving tours of the Art on Campus Collection allowed me to connect with students from different majors and teach them the practice and benefits of Visual Literacy. Facilitating these tours allowed me to develop skills to better accommodate the varying learning needs of students. This internship also consisted of helping plan and implement programs and events. I assisted in planning events and programs for the museums to connect students with art and helped in planning aspects of classes including one on

I have not yet had the opportunity to gain experience working in a museum; the ability to gain this type of knowledge is both something I look forward to and will be crucial when I begin looking for employment. Since the archaeology of ancient Greece and Rome had been by main area of study and I would enjoy an internship where I could continue to work in these areas. The many museums which Seattle offers are another contributing factor in choosing the Museology program. My experiences in both Boston and Greece have taught me the benefits of living in an area with easy access to museums and other cultural institutions. The ability to visit a museum, which has objects that pertain to what you are studying, allows for more in-depth learning and can be immensely helpful in

At first, I was looking for an archival internship in which I could do research using primary sources. This qualification limited the internships available for me. I also wanted to get away from Western Massachusetts, because after growing up here and spending the last few summers working here at Smith, I felt like it was time for a change. I found internships at presidential libraries across the country, as well as historical societies. When I expressed my interest in archives to someone from my hometown, who work for the Clerk’s Office of the House of Representatives, she encouraged me to get into contact with the Office of the Historian. I applied for an internship in their office and was lucky enough to be chosen. The reason why I chose to work for the Office of the Historian rather than an independant archive or a historical society is because the information available through the Office of the Historian, although focused on Congress, is vast in terms of people covered, time covered, and I have no limits on my research. Another quality that I appreciated in this internship is that it seems more collaborative than other ones I was applying for. This internship requires you to work in an office, do individual research and collaborate with other historians on much larger projects. I also think that being in Washington, D.C. will allow me an enriching experience working in a place with history everywhere you look

I have applied for the position of curatorial assistant because I have a genuine love of the arts, from studying History of Art both at school and then later on at the University of York - and this job will allow me to have a fully immersive role alongside the collection team at a crucial time for the Royal Academy. The Royal Academy plays a much broader role than a museum or gallery by promoting the practise of art alongside its exhibitions and the creation of the new Lecture Theatre will add a further dimension - this is something I greatly respect and would love the opportunity to help orchestrate and raise public awareness of the uniqueness of the RA in the lead up to the RA’s 250th anniversary.

I believe that I am a qualified candidate for this position because I am a very well-rounded person. I am a talented singer, pianist, and artist, I play tennis, figure skate, and swim, I enjoy and do well in science, and I am taking a math course three grades higher than my current grade. Recently, I have volunteered at my school and helped out incoming sixth graders. I communicate well with children as I am able to get them to listen and pay attention. I have also been to the Thinkery quite a few times, so I am familiar with the area.

I hope you are reading this cover letter because the reason I am qualified for this job is not reflected in my resume but this cover letter. I am passionate about how the arts create a synergized culture and being part of a movement that engages a community to celebrate life is my dream job. In the past I have been very active organizing community events including events such as Art in the Park, Children’s Art Festival, and Music in the Park. Then I became serious about life and got a real job to pay the bills, but unfortunately it didn’t feed my soul. Now, I am hungry…more like starving to connect with likeminded people. Oh! Did I mention that I was a bartender for 5 years? On my days off I would visit other bars, meet people, then encouraged

I would like to submit my resume for consideration as your Library Associate, which I saw advertised on the Worthington Libraries website. I believe that my experience in customer service, organizational skills, and tech-savvy provide me with the ability to excel as your Library Associate. I am projected to graduate from The Ohio State University in spring 2017 with a B.A. in English and plan on pursuing a MLIS degree after graduating.

The main question of the case is was it enough what Anne Brengle did over the 11 years of work for the Museum? According to the story, the question means all actions and management changes of the New Bedford Whaling museum Executive director’s style. The Executive Director Anne Brengle faces different challenges over a period of 11 years and leads this non-profit organization (The New Bedford Whaling Museum) to improvement of its condition in every aspect – financial health, new and attractive activities, new programs and improved community interest.

Art museums in the United States have been credited with reasonable growth and advances toward organizational practices, research shows that gender equality, ethnic and racial profiles of the staff remain less diverse than it could be presumed (Dudley, 2013). The initial study of art museum diversity of the United States art sector indicated that 60 percent of the total museum workers had been positioned as curators, educators and conservationists. White women mainly occupied these positions.

My experience level is only five months in retail with combined time at Party City and Michael's. However, I did also volunteer at the Children's Museum in Oak Lawn for three months. My major was in Illustration so I can come up with visual solutions to the customer's needs. I enjoy painting and have worked with acrylics for over eight year and have also taken two printmaking classes. Having fun while helping others create memories would be a great reason to look forward to going to work everyday. That's what I believe The Cubby Hole has to offer and I would appreciate being considered for a painter position.

I am interested in the lab coordinator position because it sounds like my ideal career and what I have been working towards. I have been teaching various biology courses as an adjunct while completing my Masters of Anatomy (Education Track) at Wright State University. I have been looking for a position that allows

The advantages are that there’s a verity of jobs offered “through cumulative skill in interpreting the unfolding human record, provides a real grasp of how the world works” (qtd. in Historians as Researchers) the work I’ll be doing overlaps with museum exhibits while preserving artifacts. the work environment is workable “Historians work full time during a normal business hour. Some work independently and can set their own schedules” (U.S. Bureau of Labor). Some disadvantages are that the annually pay is $48,000 and I would have to move to another state that has jobs for me. In all there are preservation jobs in the United

According to the American Alliance of Museums, community engagement in museums includes the use of this facility as “a center where people gather to meet and converse and an active, visible player in civic life, a safe haven, and a trusted incubator of change” (Long 141). Different museums
