BAJR -that's a good plan
Kevin -ditto!
Outline:
The employment market (levels of pay, number of employers, what careers look like)
Finding a job (BAJR, IFA Job Information service, general job sites, applying on spec, networking)
Getting a job (CV and application forms, interviews, researching the employer)
How sites work (site hierarchy, other contractors, finds and environmental, specialists and subcontractors, curators and clients, outrecah and community)
Recording (photography, context records, site notebooks, recording watching briefs and test pits, matrices, preparing an archive)
Tools and safety (how/when to use mattock, spade, shovel, hoe, trowel, leaf, toothbrush, dental pick, major hazards, PPE, how safety is managed)
Employment and welfare (contracts and employment rights, tax, self employment as an option, benefits, pensions)
The archaeological landscape (CBA, unions, IfA and RO, contractors, consultants, planning process, museums, HERs)
CPD and your career (pathways to qualifications/expertise, action plan, opportunities, coaching and mentoring)
Useful books and websites
-- any volunteers to write a section or subsection?
-- any more topics?
