hi ms. mama!
i hope you are doing well! i’m writing to ask you for some of your sage advice. i got a random message from J P (former L A Cou nty Gra nts M gr) on friday asking if I might be interested in the newly posted Mgr of Govt and Found ation Relatio ns for the ham mer mus eum.
At first it sounds exciting and tempting, but then I started doing research and realized how far this is from where i was in the arts community. I decided that I’d ask for some valuable opinions of the stars in my constellation.
While I consider myself a longshot for this position (my experience in development is FAAAAR below what I think they’re looking for), I am interested enough to submit a serious bid.
I”m wondering if I’m a mismatch considering that I don’t have any institution level work experience. I’m also wondering if my background in community arts would hinder me in this position. Finally, i’m wondering if there are any key issues, terms or ideas I should consider when making my argument that I’m a good and qualified candidate. Any tips or pointers?
Vanessa
