Finding Work

[dwarfer99]

Hi does anyone out there have any suggestions on how to bump up your fieldwork experience? Im havin problems with the archaeological catch 22 - you need experience to get a job but to get the experience you need experience! [?]

Try volunteering with local units or Alternitively Send C.V's to units looking for a Trainee position, most good units will take on a promising looking trainee. As long as there is work. You will build up experience in no time.

I second that. I got a job with Cotswold when I had next to no experience. They're not a bad unit to work for.

My tactic when in your position was to send out a blizzard of e-mails, one to just about every unit I could think of. It worked.

Peace,

Popping in un-announced to talk to the hirer doesn't hurt either sometimes. Units are usually informal enough to tolerate it, and you'll probably get a little job interview on the spot. Puts you to the front of the job applicant queue over people the hirer hasn't met yet.
