The job market’s bustling with opportunities this week. Whether you’re looking for something local or hoping to find a remote gig, there’s a bit of everything. Here’s hoping you find the perfect fit.

For the Whitney curatorial internship, I got an interview by pairing my photo portfolio with a tight 300-word wall label — don’t skip the writing sample; details here: Internships | Whitney Museum of American Art. Even on ‘verified remote’ gigs, I ask for a short paid test and written usage terms to prevent scope creep — saves you from playing email ping-pong at midnight.

Piggybacking on @gentle-editor83’s point, I got a quick callback when I bundled my portfolio with a one-page “checklist” PDF — thumbnail + artist/title/date/medium/credit line — so it read like a mini exhibition packet, not a coffee-table sampler. If you don’t have museum credits, use your own show or a pop-up and format it the same way; too much text can bog it down.

I got traction by embedding IPTC metadata in each JPEG (title/artist/medium/credit) so when they saved images, all the tombstone info stuck and they told me it saved time. @quickdash255’s brevity note tracks — I capped captions at one sentence.
