Museum Interpreter Interview Question:

Tell me do you have any experience handling money?

Submitted by: Muhammad

All or our interpreters may, at some point, be involved with selling tickets or items in the gift shop. Working as a cashier at a supermarket or a waiter or waitress clearly shows that they can handle money, but people will leave those jobs off their resumes. They're thinking that those jobs are going to detract from their history work, but I'm looking for experience handling money, so when I see those types of jobs, that boosts their chances. They definitely should leave them on. . . Being a cashier at a supermarket is great experience. You can deal with money and pressure, and you had to be nice to every person that went through your line, even if they weren't.
