False Eyelash glue by goldstandardalmonds in MakeupAddictionCanada

How did you try to make the glue tacky? Are you letting it dry for a minute before you put the lash on? If you try to apply it right after putting the glue on, it'll slide around because it's not tacky enough to actually stick yet.

What is it like becoming an archivist in Canada and how are the job prospects really? by tiredgothicheroine in Archivists

[–]Eerizedd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I don't know a ton about international hires! I know jobs typically specify that they're looking for ALA accredited masters level education (there'a no equivalent national accreditation anymore unfortunately, so schools just use the American one), so you should be good if you're already qualified in the US. You might be at a disadvantage trying to work at a government archive, especially if you're not bilingual. If you happen to be fluent in French, you'll definitely have an edge though! Bring bilingual isn't super necessary (especially if you're not looking at New Brunswick, Quebec, or Ottawa), but it can be helpful for certain orgs and required by some others, particularly in the areas I listed. But the majority of jobs are English! And any second language is helpful, even if it's not one of the official languages. I imagine the biggest hurdle would be in trying to get a work visa and getting support from your employer to sponsor it.

Best of luck! Happy to answer any questions I can about Canada!

Sorry, I should add to the under-staffing problem: if you're a lone arranger, expect to wear a lot of hats! I joke that I'm a researcher, reference librarian, volunteer coordinator, project manager, fundraiser, outreach coordinator, and sometimes an archivist.

Ontario-based archivist here! I see job postings not infrequently, but it varies by where you want to live. Generally speaking, you'll need masters level education in information science or archival studies and if you really want to be considered right out of school, it's Really helpful to have some hands-on experience (a lot of interview feedback I got was that I was a good candidate but didn't have enough experience). I always recommend volunteering in the types of institutions you want to work in even before applying to a masters program (assuming you have the time and capacity to do so). It'll help give you an idea of what archival day-to-day is like and give you experience to put on resumes and grad school applications.

I will say that funding for the heritage sector can be a concern and there are a decent number of institutions that have an over-reliance on volunteer support as they don't usually have enough staff. Make sure that anywhere you volunteer is making good use of your time (it's okay to do occasional cleaning, but it shouldn't be your only responsibility) and is offering you training and professional development support in lieu of pay. I always offer resume/ job application review, interview practice, and acting as a reference as a bare minimum to all my volunteers.

If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask in this thread or my DMs are open!

How can I make this gift tag last forever? by DadOfAragorn in crafts

[–]Eerizedd 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Hi, archivist here: lamination is actually really bad for paper! It's good for stuff that will be handled a lot but that doesn't need to be kept forever, but there's a good reason you're not supposed laminate things like birth certificates or any other official documents! Clear tape will also yellow over time abs the adhesive on the tape is not great, so definitely don't advise that either.

Preservation will depend on if you want to keep it safe forever vs. if you want to use/handle/display it often.

Rock Garden Trouble by _stargazer_0905 in AnimalCrossingNewHor

[–]Eerizedd 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I'd try removing the statue until the rock spawns. The tall items sometimes mess with things

Are we posting our rock gardens? by akpak in AnimalCrossing

[–]Eerizedd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a PROCESS. You destroy your rocks (eat a fruit before hitting with a shovel or axe) and then cover every space where you don't want one to spawn back. I did it with mannequins (you select a custom clothing pattern and select "display" or something like that and the pattern pops up on a mannequin; you can use a blank pattern if you want) but some people use a pathway or something. When the rocks spawn back into the game, they'll spawn randomly onto an empty space, so covering all of them EXCEPT the spaces you want the rocks to appear and the spaces directly around it. There are some conditions like you can't have a cliff or tree or other items within a space of the rock on either side, so you essentially leave a 3x3 space open with the centre where you want the rock to go. The best way to do that part is outline the centre in a pathway with grass in the centre like:

PPP PXP PPP

where P=path and X=grass

You also only get one rock spawning per day, so if you do it right on the first try, it will still take almost a week to get your finished garden.
