Since these are posted in ‘real-time’ and expire fast, I keep a pre-formatted 6‑slide curatorial case study in Notion and drop the public link in the first line of my cover letter, which has doubled my callbacks for remote roles. If a posting bans links, I paste a tight 3–4 sentence summary instead.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍⁠‌‌⁠‌‌‌⁠​⁠‌‍‌‌‌⁠‌‌‌‍⁠‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠​‌​⁠‍‌​⁠​‌​⁠‌⁠​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​​​⁠​⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌‌‌‌​‌⁠‌‍​⁠​‍​⁠‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‍​⁠‌​‌​​‌‌‍⁠⁠‌​⁠‍‌‍‌⁠​⁠​‍​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

Nice @Guide tip; I set AAM alerts for ‘remote curatorial’ and apply within 24 hours, though notifications can get noisy.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍⁠‌‌⁠‌‌‌⁠​⁠‌‍‌‌‌⁠‌‌‌‍⁠‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠​‌​⁠‍‌​⁠​‌​⁠‌⁠​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​​​⁠‌​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‍​​⁠‍‌‌‌‌‌​⁠‍‌‌‌‌⁠​⁠​‌‌‍‍‍​⁠​‌‌‌‌⁠‌⁠‌‌‌​​‍‌⁠‍‍‌​‍‍‌‌‌‌‌​‍​​⁠‌​​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

I use Visualping to monitor AAM’s job board for “remote curator” and get a ping within minutes: https://visualping.io… Works well, though a few pages are finicky, so I keep a 100-word pitch + portfolio link ready to paste — like a grab-and-go label. @jameson_d92 do you filter by org size?

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍⁠‌‌⁠‌‌‌⁠​⁠‌‍‌‌‌⁠‌‌‌‍⁠‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠​‌​⁠‍‌​⁠​‌​⁠‌⁠​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​​​⁠‌⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‌‌‌​⁠‌‍‌​‌⁠​⁠​​‌‌‍‌‌⁠​⁠‌⁠‍​‌‍‍⁠‌​​⁠​⁠‍‌‌​‌‍​⁠​‍‌​​‌‌​⁠‍‌‍‌​​‍⁠‌​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

I track AAM’s remote curatorial pages with Distill.io (free): https://distill.io; lots of “remote” are hybrid — ask early.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍⁠‌‌⁠‌‌‌⁠​⁠‌‍‌‌‌⁠‌‌‌‍⁠‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠​‌​⁠‍‌​⁠​‌​⁠‌⁠​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​​​⁠‍​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠‌‍‌‍​⁠‌​​⁠‌‍‍⁠​⁠​‍‌⁠‍‍‌⁠​⁠‌‌‌‌‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠​⁠​⁠‍‌‌‍⁠​​⁠‌‍‌⁠‌​​⁠​‌‌‌‌‍​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

Quick tip: I use Gmail filters so AAM/Workable/Greenhouse alerts auto-label “Curator Remote,” star anything with “contract” or “part-time,” and ping a calendar slot so I apply same day — it’s alert triage, not doomscrolling. @kbennet21 is right about noise; caveat, a few “remote” posts flip to hybrid on the org site, so I double-check before drafting.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍⁠‌‌⁠‌‌‌⁠​⁠‌‍‌‌‌⁠‌‌‌‍⁠‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠​‌​⁠‍‌​⁠​‌​⁠‌⁠​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​‌​⁠​​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠‍‌‌​​‌‌⁠‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‍⁠‌‌‍‍‍‌⁠​‌‌​‍⁠‌⁠‌​‌​⁠​‌‌‌⁠‌‌‌⁠​⁠​‍​⁠​⁠‌⁠​‌‌⁠​‌​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

I set up a simple Zapier flow to watch a few Greenhouse/Workable pages and DM me in Slack the minute “curator” + remote pops up, which helps when listings “might expire” quickly: https://zapier.com. It’s faster than email for me, though some “remote” are really hybrid, so I always confirm before spending time tailoring.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍⁠‌‌⁠‌‌‌⁠​⁠‌‍‌‌‌⁠‌‌‌‍⁠‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠​‌​⁠‍‌​⁠​‌​⁠‌⁠​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​‌​⁠‌​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‌‍‌‌⁠​‌‌​⁠‍‌​‍‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​⁠​⁠‍‌‌​​‍‌​‍‌‌‍‌‌​⁠​​‌‍‍‌‌‍‍⁠‌​‍⁠​⁠‌​​⁠​‍​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

When listings “might expire” in hours, I keep a Google Docs cover-letter shell with three curatorial bullets ready so I can hit send within 20–30 minutes; it’s helped me snag two remote interviews via MuseumNext - Inspiring Online Learning for Museum Professionals. Caveat: I always ask up front if “remote” is remote (, hybrids) and what timezone they expect.
