FEES

Click Here for information on the fee for posting a position on ShovelBums & an explanation of the fee structure.
NOTE: I will always work with you on the price of a posting if your firm is struggling, especially in these challenging times, and I will never prevent your from using ShovelBums because you are unable to pay.  It is more important for you to find qualified staff and get yourself back into the black so hopefully in the future you will be able to pay. This is a TRULY terrible business model, but as I see it, we are all in this together. And most firms that use ShovelBums recognize the great value it brings to them.

How to Join ShovelBums

There are two really easy ways of joining the ShovelBums mailing list.

1: Just send a blank email to ShovelBums+subscribe@groups.io, respond to it, and there you go.  But....

2:  ...If you want to be able to log in to the jobs boards (that way you can see full email addresses, manage your mailing frequency, etc...) you will need to set up an account on Groups.io to manager your account. It is quite simple also, all you need to do to set that up is go to This Page.

Why should I join ShovelBums?

ShovelBums is a low volume, non-discussion list, that is only utilized for posting Archaeology, CRM, Research Projects, Academia, Museums, etc..related positions around the world (and occasionally a commentary about something from me).

If you are a professional in Archaeology or CRM, an educator with students planning for a career in Archaeology or CRM, or you run a CRM or Heritage Management firm then ShovelBums is the easiest and fastest way to keep a pulse on what is happening where in CRM.  

For students of Archaeology and CRM, no matter if your goal is to become a tenured professor, it is VERY likely (and highly recommended) that at some point you will work in CRM to support yourself. For undergraduates ShovelBums helps to educate about what skills are in demand, where they are being used, and how much you can make. For graduate students ShovelBums is instrumental for getting your foot in the door at an established company. 

For professionals who are working fully in academia it is worth keeping an eye on what the likely career path your students will end up in is doing. It helps to keep you rooted in the reality that few students will be able to become professors. But if those students want to utilize the excellent education you have given them the opportunity to explore, they need you to know what is going on in the world of CRM to help guide them.
