Equivalent role?
 

Hi

My hubby is a supervisor at a museum for people who deliver educational programs for visiting school kids plus object handling for the general public. He doesn't have a qualification for this role, just time served.

Aside from the same sort of role in another museum (which are a bit thin on the ground where we're thinking of moving), would anyone have any ideas of where these skills would be transferable to?

Obviously we'll get in contact with recruitment agencies to see if we can glean some info, however opinions welcomed.

Does anyone have any experience in this field?

Does he have any qualifications at all? Most jobs are going to want some - sorry not very helpful I know :(

Re: Equivalent role?
 

Tis helpful!

Yes, he has a fine art degree... nothing to do with current role.

I was hoping that time served and experience might have helped, however, sounds less promising with no degree in current field?

So I guess gallery work but that might not fit. Some of his skills would maybe transfer to zoo or wildlife parks - the educational and organisational aspects. Maybe work in school resources - libraries, student support.

Hmm I hadn't considered zoo or wildlife parts - great call. I'm thinking we send his CV to recruitment agencies also to glean what we can from them also. Maybe nothing but nothing ventured right. Also trying to see if any of his colleagues have contacts at any of the museums in Aust, as they may then be able to refer.

I thought with schools he would need to be qualified?

To teach but maybe not for the support roles - not over here anyway but I don't know for Oz - maybe worth a look.
