Interview
They had me hand write all the documents needed for the interview once you arrive on site regardless I brought the printout that I prepared prior. My interviewer was very nice & polite. He clarified the job duties in detail & asked me multiple times if I had any questions.

I applied in-person. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Norton Simon Museum (Pasadena, CA) in May 2025
Interview
It’s typical for museums to take a while to get through the hiring process, but I finally heard back from the museum after going in person and filling out a paper application. I heard back a month later, I did 2 interviews back to back. They described their institution as traditional and conservative, so I would have to change my appearance. The people that work there are really nice though.
