I acquired the position by Burcaw's description of (2.) Through personal acquaintance with museum directors, they have been asked to fill vacancies or have been recommended to the directors' colleagues in other museums. I didn't know the workers who hired me to the store, but had grown up going to workshops at the museum, which were community outreach based activities. I had been a long term continuous presence, and knew many workers for different reasons.

I choose the position as the Public Relations Manager at the HAMMER Museum because I am familiar with the Hammer museum and always made a point to go to this museum when I was younger. I like the idea of being a Public Relations Manager because I have experience being a performer and would be able to sympathize with visiting artists/owners needs and ideas. I have organized my own shows where I made executive decisions regarding press, scheduling/booking, maintaining relations with public, designing flyers, and websites. I know how to get a show going smoothly and I have fun witnessing the event unfold to please and teach the participants.
