Applying to work at a museum before it opens
Hey everyone, there's a new museum opening up in my city in a couple of months! It's a relatively big one that supposedly will have a lot of money to play aroud with, and I really want to work there. I've been wanting to get into this industry since I finished uni, but there's not been any job openings. Or I didn't have enough experience to get the jobs that were available. Now I've got a few years working in an adjacent field with transferable skills.
So this museum is supposed to open soon, but there's no job listings anywhere online. I was wondering if it's worth it to try a speculative application, and if that would ultimately end up looking bad if I get rejected/ignored and apply again when they post something official. I would be applying to work in areas like mediation, cultural activities/tours, events, etc. I get there's obviously no people visiting the museum, but I imagine there's a lot of preparatory work to get all of those programs up and running.
Patience is a virtue, sure. But I'm also feeling bored at my current job and want to give it a shot. To wait or not to wait?
