When your museum job starts feeling uncertain, do you wait it out or start planning your exit?
And if you know you want something different, how do you keep your museum job search moving when your current job is draining your energy?
In this mailbag episode, we’re answering three listener questions about career uncertainty, strategic pivots, and figuring out what comes next.
We talk about building an exit plan before you need one, exploring museum career opportunities and adjacent roles, and staying competitive for future museum jobs when your career takes you outside the traditional museum path. We also dig into museum job titles and what to do when your title doesn’t reflect the work you’re actually doing.
In this episode, we cover:
- How to build an exit strategy when your museum job feels uncertain
- Where to find adjacent museum career opportunities that make sense for your skills
- How to keep your experience relevant for future museum jobs when working in a gallery or adjacent field
- Why museum job titles matter and how to make a case for a title change
- How to protect your energy while keeping your museum job search moving in a difficult work environment
