The Philadelphia Museum of Art is looking for survey assistants in July and August.
Survey assistants are trained to select and intercept visitors exiting the Museum’s main building, the Perelman Building, special exhibitions, and the Rodin Museum. Assistants ask visitors to complete a paper survey questionnaire about their visit to help the Museum better understand and serve its audiences.
The most successful survey assistants are people who are confident, friendly-faced, have no problem approaching strangers, reliable, and dependable. One of the key skills is encouraging participation by visitors, such that you’re not pushy, but also that nearly all the visitors you approach do, indeed, participate. This position does require someone who can be on their feet for long periods of time.
The positions pay $9 an hour.
Hours will be available between 11am and 5pm Tues-Sun and until 9pm on Friday nights. To cover most of our operating hours across the course of a month, these hours may vary by individual date. The Museum conducts visitor surveys year-round, so though the immediate need is for staff in July and August, there will be opportunities to continue through the fall.
If this sounds like a good fit for you, please send a resume and any related experience you may have, along with a telephone number to Kerry DiGiacomo (contact info below). It would also be helpful to know what days of the week you’d be most interested in working based on any existing schedule you may have. Survey staff are trained on-site in the hour prior to their first scheduled shift. We review selection procedures, administrative responsibilities, techniques, etc.
