Our editorial advice · not employer requirements
How to prepare a stronger application
Connect a research, writing, archival, design, education, digital, operations, or visitor-facing example to the department's work.
Explain what you contributed, how you handled evidence or audiences, and what you learned instead of treating museum interest as self-explanatory.
