kareinaLast month I happened to look at the web page for the Lofotr Viking Museum, and while I was there I noticed that they have a "work with us" section, so I clicked on it. At the time it was still advertising the 2020 summer season, but they had a section mentioning that they sometimes hire interns, and please send an email if interested. As a PhD student in Archaeology with not so much practical experience on anything other than analytical lab work that sounded interesting, so I promptly sent them an email, outlining my PhD research and asking if they were hiring interns this year.
They replied promptly saying that they aren't able to hire any interns this year (no surprise there given 2020), but that they would be announcing the summer 2021 jobs soon and encouraging me to try applying for one of those instead. Today the announcements came out, and I am delighted to see that the one for Håndverkere (crafts workers) is specifically looking for soapstone carvers!
So now I have written back to her letting her know that I will apply soon, and did she prefer that I fill in the application form in English, Swedish, or Norwegian, and does she have a preference which language I do the CV in? I also asked if they want the crafts workers to focus on one craft over the summer, or do a variety, in other words, should I include photos on my CV of my nålbindning, Viking Age clothing, and wood working projects as well?
If anyone is inclined to offer feedback on my application packet let me know and I will share it once I have a good draft together. (Deadline to apply isn't till March, but I would like to apply before the year ends, anyway, if I can get a good packet together.)
