Dear Internet,

A year ago, I started a contract job at the State Library of Victoria doing basic but Very Important collection work — retrieving items, reshelving, collection maintenance and front-of-house service. At the same time, I was accepted into the Master of Fine Art (Printmaking) course at RMIT University. My job was full time, so I took a Leave of Absence from the course for a year.

A month ago my contract at the library finished, and while I would have loved to stay there, my contract wasn’t extendable and no other jobs with the library were available. Next week I start my new degree on a part time basis, and I am very excited about this. What I am less excited about is the fact that I still have no job.

Obviously I’m looking for something part time or casual. My contact hours at university are minimal and self driven, but I will still have a lot of work to do. I would prefer art gallery, museum or library work. I love art. I love putting things in order. I love managing collections. If you have or know of a position in this realm, please let me know. I also have a degree in advertising and worked as a copywriter for several years before taking the art path. I graduated at the top of my class, I enjoy writing and people seem to think I do it well. Any job leads in this area would also be welcome.

So, email me at getajob AT crumpart DOT net if you think my awesomeness would be appreciated somewhere. Thanks Internet!
