A Job in History Careers Series

Welcome to the home page for our “A Job in History? No Longer a Mystery” YouTube Careers series!

 

Through this YouTube series, we are trying to de-mystify the wide variety of roles in heritage by interviewing some of the best. Whether you want to work in the industry but don’t know how to get your foot in the door, just want to know some hints and tips, or have always liked heritage but don’t think there is a career for you, these are the videos for you!

Our Young Producers take the opportunity to interview members of English Heritage staff, from the CEO(!) to the Chief Gardener to the Head of Commercial Development. Click on the links below to explore!
