Finding and applying for an archives job can be difficult, confusing, and time-consuming, especially for new archivists or those wanting to make a change in their career. A panel of archivists with current experience in hiring for academic, government, non-profit, religious, and museum archives are here to help demystify the hiring process! Panelists will provide an honest and straightforward discussion of how candidates are selected, what to expect during the interview process, timelines, and application packets for different types of institutions. 

The panel will also share hiring practices, including DEI practices to reduce bias and increase diversity, to ensure transparency with candidates, and to emphasize the importance of privacy in the search process. This is meant to be an open discussion where the panelists share their backgrounds and answer questions from you or prompts from the chair to encourage organic conversation. The audiences for this session include people looking for archives jobs, either new to the field or making a change, and people who are on search committees or have hiring responsibilities looking for advice and new ideas. By having a candid discussion about hiring practices, this panel hopes to empower the next generation of archivists in their job hunt and promote inclusive hiring practices for a more diverse workplace.
