As such, it&rsquo;s essential to tailor your cover letter to the museum&rsquo;s job posting and highlight your relevant skills and experience.<\/span><br>\n&nbsp;<br>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By following the following steps, you&rsquo;ll be able to craft a museum job cover letter that will help you stand out from the competition.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<h2><b>Step 1: Write your and the museum&rsquo;s contact information&nbsp;<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Writing the header details for your museum cover letter is very important. These details include both your and your potential employer&rsquo;s information, and is written at the very top. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, include your full name, address, e-mail address, and today&rsquo;s date. This can be written as a horizontal line centered at the top of the page like in the following example:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 10pt;\"> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; John Smith&nbsp; 123 Fake Lane &nbsp; Boston, MA 01234&nbsp; &nbsp; JSmith1@fakemail.com &nbsp; 5\/12\/2014<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may also write it to the left of the page, similar to how you would write it on a letter&rsquo;s envelope:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5\/12\/2014<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">John Smith<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">123 Fake Lane<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boston, MA 01234<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">JSmith1@fakemail.com<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once this information is written, include the museum&rsquo;s information in the same format you chose for your own. Instead of a personal address, use the museum&rsquo;s name and address.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is best practice to include the name of the museum&rsquo;s hiring manager if it is known. If you do not know, you may write &ldquo;Hiring Manager&rdquo; in place of the name here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Directly after this information, you will put the opening salutation. This is most commonly &ldquo;Dear [hiring manager&rsquo;s name],&rdquo; or simply &ldquo;Dear Hiring Manager,&rdquo;.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<h2><b>Step 2: Specify the museum job you&rsquo;re applying for<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You must start your cover letter strong, using clear and concise language. Museums have a range of different jobs within, from security to curators, so you must specify the position you are seeking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a good idea to include where you heard about the museum job in this section. Whether it be an online job board or a referral from a current employee, the hiring manager will likely want to know how you came to know about the position.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep this information to 1-2 sentences max, as you want to have enough space for more relevant information later on in your cover letter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This should look like the following examples:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am writing to express my strong interest in the curator position at the American Museum of Natural History as advertised on Indeed.com.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am writing to express my keen interest in the youth tour guide position at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

If you have always been interested in renaissance art, and this museum is known for its displays of such works, include this information!&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not include reasons such as &ldquo;the museum is close to my house&rdquo; or &ldquo;the pay is good&rdquo;. The preservation of history is a labor of love, so hiring managers are looking for passionate people who love the subjects they will be working with.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This section should be a few sentences long and should portray you as someone who is enthusiastic about the work.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am particularly drawn to the work that [xyz museum] does with local schools. Providing children with the opportunity to see and experience history outside of textbooks is an inspirational and worthwhile endeavor, and I would be honored to be a part of it.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<h2><b>Step 5: Include your relevant museum work experience<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This section should be 1-2 paragraphs at a maximum describing your relevant education and work experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have a degree in history, art history, or archeology, be sure to mention it. A master&rsquo;s degree in museum studies is a valuable qualification that can set you apart from other applicants.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most often, the work experience should be limited to work you have done at other museums or galleries. Include the most relevant tasks you were required to do, such as collection management, art restoration, or overseeing acquisitions.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You do not need to write out every task you were required to do. Search the job description you are applying for and include experiences that match what the museum is looking for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[see the end of this article for full examples of the work experience section]<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<h2><b>Step 6: Write your conclusion and include a signature<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The conclusion to a cover letter should be between 1-2 paragraphs including your contact information, and should thank the museum&rsquo;s hiring manager for their time.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it seems redundant, it is customary to include your phone number and email again at the end of the cover letter.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reiterating that you hope to hear from the museum&rsquo;s hiring manager and are excited about the opportunity are important to include in this section as well.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This will look something like the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thank you for taking the time to review my application today.

This will show the museum&rsquo;s hiring manager that you are a proactive and engaged employee who is capable of taking on leadership roles. Additionally, if you have any ideas for new initiatives or programs that you would like to implement in the museum, mention them in your cover letter to demonstrate your forward-thinking mindset.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Use clear and concise language:<\/strong> Your cover letter should be easy to read and understand. Avoid using jargon or technical terms that may not be familiar to the museum&rsquo;s hiring manager.
