    no... a museum actually.

    i've always wanted to work in a museum for some strange reason, so i was looking at job postings, and this one kinda caught my eye.
  • That's sort of a Jack of all trades type job as far as I know...it could be anything from organizing fundraisers/parties to cold-calling prospective buyers. That might be why the description is vague.

    My experience in the construction industry has me thinking either project assistant or land use assistant.

    Construction Project Assistants help with bids, sub-contractors, schedules, permits, etc.

    Land Use Assistants help with finding land, doing feasibility calcs, land use design, bids, sub-contractors, permits, etc.

    That's the really short descriptions.

    I would look up the current title, plus project assistant in one of the job search engines to get a better idea. Plus, do you have any way of tracking down the actual company name, like a reverse search on a phone number, or whatever their email ends with? Also, under what sub-categories was the job listed? That might help narrow the field down.
