Curate Your Career: A Museum Career Podcast by Elin Filbey & Alli Schell
Curate Your Career is a museum career podcast for museum pros entering the field, staying, leaving, and everything in between.
Hosted by Elin Filbey of Deaccessioned Career Coaching and Alli Schell of Your Museum Career Coach, we dig into the real, messy, hilarious, and hopeful parts of museum careers - from burnout and bad bosses to career pivots, salary jumps, and rediscovering what you actually want.
Alli helps you navigate museum jobs, strengthen your applications, and advocate for what you bring to the field. Elin helps you explore career alternatives beyond museums and translate your experience into your next chapter. Together, we offer practical advice and honest conversations about building a museum career that works for you.
Whether you've been in the museum field for years or you’re wondering how to work in a museum, applying for entry level museum jobs, weighing a museum studies degree, or figuring out your next move, you’re welcome here.
We talk everything from museum resumes and cover letters, interviews, museum salary negotiation, leadership, transferable skills, and life beyond the museum sector.
