Jobs Listing Service at Conference
The jobs listing service is for members seeking employment and institutions seeking to recruit employees.

Museums - This is great way to get the word out about any openings at your museum, or to maximize your job search efforts.
Please send three copies of your announcement/s to the NEMA address below by November 3.
Listings should be on letterhead and each position must be on a single, separate sheet of paper. If you have a last-minute job opening, bring three copies of your announcement to the NEMA staff at the registration table as soon as you get to the conference.
All announcements for the jobs binders must include: an address and instructions for submitting an application, the date until which resumes will be accepted, and information about your organization as well as the job title, description and skills required.

Individuals - You will be able to look through the listings and leave resumes for the positions in which you are interested. So remember to bring plenty of copies of your resume!

Volunteer
All volunteer postions have been filled at this time.
We are looking for volunteers to assist us throughout the conference, staffing the registration desk, checking meeting rooms between sessions, supervising off-site travel arrangements, and more. Volunteers who work one shift can attend the rest of that day for free. For working three shifts, volunteers receive a complimentary registration for the whole meeting. Preference is given to individuals who live near the conference site.
