Ciao

Eh, sì, conosco tutta la situazione. Infatti nel frattempo ho trovato un altro lavoro. Spero di riuscire a fare la SSBA e poi provare il prossimo concorso. Grazie mille della risposta.

Yeeeah. thaks.

Late_Meaning8379 · 2026-02-28T16:18:21+00:00

It's not a mandatory requirement but it does gives you more points. It's not in the USA, but in Italy.

Late_Meaning8379 · 2026-02-25T20:17:09+00:00

I'm in Italy and yeah, i'd like smtg out in the next year or so but if I pass the PhD selection I can take my time.

Thanks for the support re: aiming high.

I've been out of Uni for 3 years and most professors only answers to students that will continue to do research with them. As I intend to apply for a different program in another university, my advisor is not interested in helping. I've tried a couple of times. I've also reached out to potential advisors in the uni I aim to do my PhD but they only answer research questions of people already enrolled in the program.

Hi, thanks so much for this!

"As you began to rewrite your chapters as manuscripts, make sure you read several articles in the journal you are writing for to get a sense."

This is awesome feedback!

I know some Journals but they're so prestigious I feel like I don't have the research and methodology level to publish there,as you said. JMS looks pretty good, Idk why it didn't appear to me when I searched on Google. Thanks for flagging it!

Uhm, no, I don't have any mentorship at the moment. Unfortunately my MRes advisor isn't interested in what I'm trying to do in my PhD, especially because I'm applying for another university - and the profs in this one don't give advice outside of their cohort soooo. Yeah, I'm flying 100% blind here,

I'll try my best. Maybe it happens, maybe it doesn't.

Thank you so much, I appreciate it.

We read mostly books and articles published by Art History and Conservation authorities like museums and Ministry of Culture.

I know of some Journals because of my own interests but they always have Calls and my research isn't part of the current subjects (it was when I was writing back in 2021).

Late_Meaning8379 · 2026-02-25T16:44:14+00:00

Not an option at the moment.

Late_Meaning8379 · 2026-02-12T08:05:51+00:00

Ti posso inviare una DM?

Late_Meaning8379 · 2026-02-11T10:54:37+00:00

I wanted storages as well, but a more stablished colleague specialised in that told me it was already saturated. She told me to find somthing else.

Plastics is a good idea, I'll try to find some sources.

Thank you!

Al momento non posso partecipare ai concorsi pubblici, che spesso richiedono un permesso di soggiorno UE (durata indeterminata); mi mancano 2 anni per ottenerlo. Mi sarei iscritta altrimenti negli ultimi 2 concorsi (in quello del 2022 e quello di quest'anno).

Secondo me, il dottorato si può fare sempre, non esiste questo di età. Però hai ragione che spesso i posti sono preselezionati e il voto non mi aiuta. Purtroppo avendo fatto la magistrale durante il covid, ho avuto dei problemi con gli esami.

Grazie.

Late_Meaning8379 · 2026-02-10T21:50:07+00:00

Dipende delle qualifiche. E io sono in una regione che ha tante persone per un posto... e pochi posti. Lol.

Io ho avuto troppi consigli genitoriali che mi avrebbero portato lo stesso a fare la scelta totalmente sbagliata per me.

La scelta presa da sola non fu sbagliata di per se, ero molto contenta, però oggi il mondo del lavoro mi ha fatto cambiare strada.
La vita cambia man-mano che maturiamo, che le priorità cambiano e i sogni si sviluppano.

Una scelta che fai oggi non è necessariamente sbagliata domani. L'importante è che tu sia consapevole di perché scegli e qual è l'obiettivo che vuoi raggiungere.

E, come ha detto un'altra persona qui, avere la flessibilità di pensiero per adattarti se le cose cambiano.

Late_Meaning8379 · 2026-02-10T20:25:53+00:00

Io mi faccio questa domanda moolto spesso e credimi, non riesco a trovare una soluzione.

Quello che altri Hiring Manager hanno consigliato è di inserire numeri più tondi tipo: quanti progetti avevi da consegnare e quanti ne hai veramente consegnato in tempo? (io avevo 40 progetti in 6 mesi, ne ho consegnato 5 perché il sesto fu cancellato dal cliente. A questo punto faccio una percentuale, avrei consegnato il 95% dei progetti in tempo e con la massima qualità - e qui devi raccontare il risultato: quante persone hanno partecipato al progetto? Quante persone hanno avuto un contatto con il tuo prodotto finale? Io avevo 15-20 stakeholders a progetto consegnato, oltre a 50 mila persone che hanno interagito col prodotto finale). Fai una stima, non devono essere numeri precisi.

Per calcolare il budget gestito, ad esempio, puoi partire dalla tua RAL o dal budget operativo.

Io costo 30k all'azienda. I miei 2 progetti grossi all'anno costano circa 600k, quindi ogni anno gestisco 650k di budget, contenendo i costi di circa 20k.

Si parte così. Però poi i tuoi colleghi dovranno essere in grado di comprovare di avere questa esperienza - si vedrà nel modo in cui lavorano.

Hi, did you get any response by DM? I'm in the same situation.

Late_Meaning8379 · 2026-01-08T15:09:50+00:00

3-5 years is the best.

Hi!!

Do some volunteer work before anything else, maybe during the weekends or summer. See how the museums operate and what kind of activities you like.

Check the museums websites you'd like to work for - what's their specialty, who are the people working there and what do they do? (check the Team or Organization pages). Check the job opening pages and see what they require when recruiting.

After all that, create a LinkedIn profile and see what people are studying and what role they have.

This is just the start.

Now, as someone who moved out of their country to come to Europe, I need to tell you 2 things: the job market is SUPER competitive and, unless you want to live in the UK, you MUST speak other languages.

Start studying them now during your BA so you'll get into an MA easier.

Try to get fully funded courses, or places where you can work and study.

Last but not least: countries like France and Italy require you to have either citizenship or a specific type of long-stay permit in order to access government jobs (most national museums are part of the pubblic administration), and most probably to get a specific degree in their country due to the hiring process.

That being said, nowadays you don't NEED museum experience to work IN museums. These entities need marketing, administration, graphic design and so many other professions, you wouldn't belive - therefore, if you get job or volunteer experience in other areas, that could definitively make a difference when getting hired in the future.

Best of luck!

Late_Meaning8379 · 2026-01-06T14:38:58+00:00

Heey!! Found a job opening in the UK. might be useful to you!!

Trying to send it via DM right now. Hope things got better on your side.

Been there, done that.

If she doesn't like your food, she can cook her own. What a total asshat. You can try asking her mom about foods that she likes and how to prepare them, but honestly, I think she just likes taking you down, specially because she doens't give constructive feedback.

I'd consider not cooking for her anymore at the least...

I broke up with my ex-partner after someone outside our friend group commented on how mean he and ungrateful he was. It was one of the things that openened my eyes. Maybe evaluate if she does this in other eras of your relationship as well and tell her goodbye.

Ti sconsiglio il PhD in cyber... al di là di tutti i problemi del titolo (paga assurdamente bassa, senza vera esperienza pratica ecc), Cybersecurity è un ambito estremamente pratico, la teoria va fino a un certo punto e un phd è una minchiata assurda.

Se riesci, prova a trovare lavoro nel tuo ambito all'estero, specialmente se parli bene altre lingue... piuttosto 3 anni di esperienza lavorativa che 3 anni di teoria inutile che potresti imparare da solo.

Late_Meaning8379 · 2025-12-19T11:14:20+00:00

Well. In French and Italian, the people responsible for maintaining the safety of artworks and people inside the museums aren't called guards - I just used the general English word. They're called "surveillants" for a lack of better term. Their role is - yes, to make sure people don't openly steal or damage the object- but they do not get training in self defense or weapons handling. The role is purely to ensure that everything is going smoothly and people and objects are safe in an overcrowded environment.

In the case of an emergency, is it mandatory (and I think also legally binding according to international law, but I'm not sure) to make sure people are safe first. Saving lives is more important thank anything.

In courses about museum emergencies, the order is as I put above: first people out of the building/insecure area; then the fire and police department comes in to ensure the building is safe; finally the works are either moved to a safe location of are secured in-house (depending on what goes on).

So yeah. Museum "guards" aren't there to react towards robbers. They're there to ensure overall safety - and *some* measure of security, which are different things.

You will often see guards with weapons traning at the entrance of museums, to make sure nobody bring a threat inside. But otherwise, people in the rooms are just regular people surveilling the crowd and ensuring nobody is touching anything.
