Editing art nut seeks museum job

Dear Nelson-Atkins,

It is my dream to work for a museum. It is also my dream, surprisingly, to remain in the Midwest after I graduate. Therefore, I can think of no better place of employment than the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. Here is a list of the skills and talents I can provide:

• I can play badminton: This skill seems relevant, seeing as how your museum sculpture park includes gigantic shuttle cocks.

The Nelson and I look good together. Rodin and I both think you should hire me.
• Editing: Recently, the Smithsonian Institute got told by a 5th-grader who found a mistake on an exhibit label. I can help make sure this doesn't happen to the Nelson. I am a copy chief for a student newspaper, and after this summer, will have interned for two professional daily papers as a copy editor. I am also the communications intern at the Spencer Museum of Art, where I edit labels, help plan events and create promotional materials.
• Double the education: Not only can I offer you my journalistic expertise, but I am also earning a degree in art history. I can wax eloquent on anyone from Caravaggio to Brancusi, and I understand art lingo. That means I can write a well-informed press release on an upcoming art installation, and have no trouble editing a flier on Henry Moore's sculptural style.
• I communicate effectively through any medium: Do you need an interview with a local artist? A video press release with voiceover? What about an html newsletter? I have print, TV and Web experience. Just say the word, and it's done.
• People person: I can talk to anyone about anything for as long as you need me to. Do you have an important guest that needs to be entertained/introduced at an opening? Or, perhaps they want a private museum tour? I'm your woman.
• I keep it real: Many people in the art world are pretentious. I am not one of them (except for the previous paragraph where I said "wax eloquent"). My primary concern is to make the Nelson-Atkins a place that people of all backgrounds can visit and appreciate. Art is not just for the rich and famous.

So there you have it. My skills range far and wide. Additionally, I am punctual, organized, have a spectacular memory, and if you want to start me off as a paid intern, I can make one helluva cup of coffee.
