Archivist Intern

May - August 2022 • Greensboro, NC

What I liked

Constant inspiration to rethink art, along with having the opportunity to interact and help resident artist

What I wish was different

The archival work that I did half of it was untouched, but the other half I later found to be put on trash bags, so it hurt to see three months of work put away like that. I wish there was more communication

Advice

Even if you are temporarily there, get to know the staff, residents, whoever surrounds the employer because it will help you in the future. Along with doing other tiny side duties to show how you would contribute as a permeant employee.

Always do your job, focus on your tasks and if there is space to for you to offer other duties, do it. Get involved with the people you work with, get to know them even if you are there temporarily, it will help you in the future.
