Rating:  Summary: Tell Me Something I Don't Know! Review: I bought this book thinking it would be a great reference. It isn't! What They Are: If you're looking for work in a museum chances are you've done a museum course or you've volunteered in a musuem. Therefore, you know what people in the various jobs do. How To Prepare: Education, training, and experiece are listed in this section. If you're looking for a Curatorial posistion you've already got this so it's nothing new. I was expecting more information on what techniques I could use to prepare for interviewing for such jobs. Or perhaps an example on preparing a portfolio of work, but there was no such thing in the book. Where to find them: I was expecting something more indepth than learning museums, arboretums, historic houses, etc. hire people to work in various job. No kidding! What I thought I was going to get was a comprehensive list of places broken down by category and/or location. In short, this book did not tell me anything I didn't already know. If you know absolutely nothing about museum jobs it would be great for you. However, if you think it's a good resource to use to help find a job, don't bother!
Rating:  Summary: For museum jobs; this is the book! Review: If you want employment in a museum; then this is must reading! Erma T
