Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Albatross SIG] Fw: NASM History of Rocketry curator position open until June 29
The deadline for this position has been extended to June 29.
Also note that Space History will have two more positions opening in the next few months--one on computing/guidance, navigation and control, and one on contemporary spaceflight
in a global perspective. There also will be positions in the Aeronautics Dept. and two more in Space History later this year or the next. Using the resume builder in usajobs.gov, you can have something on file that you can reuse for any application. Note that
completeness is very important to getting through the filter for a federal application.
Questions about the current job should be addressed to Margaret Weitekamp (see below).

For a federal job application, you have to be both precise and inclusive. Any experience, paid or unpaid, counts. So volunteer work can be listed to demonstrate experience and skill. But applications have to include
all requested material or they will not be included in the body of applicants that the SME Panel will get to sort. So, if it says to include the dates, including both month and year, for employment as well as rate of pay, for each job listed under experience,
then the application has to have all of that information included or it will not be forwarded.
