There is in deed an art to references! Writing, reviewing or requesting references is not as simple as it may seem, but when done well and intentionally, they can serve as a useful metric. If you are a student pursuing references for scholarships, graduate school or your first job, this podcast will help you better understand how and who to request a reference from and how to pave the way for references that will bolster your chance at success. Professors and hiring managers, we have plenty for you as well from deciphering the “secret language”, as Andrew coins it, to how to how and who you should be providing references for.

Mitigating illness as an archaeologist is tricky no matter where you are at in your career. This job takes a toll on you physically and leaves little room for R&R let alone the penalties that come with resting when you are an on call employee. Andrew and the sickly Heather, with her best “Kathleen Turner” voice, consider how to mitigate illness before and during the field and care for yourself regardless of budget. Stay safe and well out there fellow archs!

Ever wonder how difficult it is to work in other states in the US and if it makes sense to take opportunities in different geographies? This episode explores how to diversify your geographical skill set that will in turn improve your short and long term employment prospects.

However, putting in the time early in your career may be the best time to expand your archaeological-geographical footprint. We will discuss why this is the case and how to improve your marketability as a CRM professional.

We take the conversation we started last episode regarding vocational training of a technical workforce in CRM a little further. Bill provides an excellent perspective on the current role of the academic world in the CRM profession. How the current projections of future student populations provides both a bleak potential for growing numbers of new archaeologists and the promise for job security. This is an interesting perspective considering the current uncertainty looming in our discipline. Finally, is a rethinking of the original Airlie House an answer to what ails us? Tune in to find out and to learn how to educate yourself on the future of CRM!

This episode considers the potential benefits of welcoming skilled labor to our discipline and how it could allow for more specialized trade skills, serve as a gateway to additional training and allow for each valuable component of our discipline to employ the skills they have worked so hard to develop.

During these uncertain times in our discipline, it is easy and understandable to be assuming the worst. However, in order to ride any storm, it is important to have a broad perspective and prepare for all outcomes. On this episode, Andrew and Heather consider various perspectives of the current state of CRM in light of the most recent executive orders and the laying off of federal archaeologists. We consider both the shadowy and sunny side of the proverbial CRM street and provide some potential avenues of action.
