Have you ever said to yourself, "oh, what I would do just to be near Beyoncé." Oh, that's just us. Well...if you just don't want to admit it out loud, let us tell you that there was an opportunity of a lifetime to make that dream come true. If you have read the interview with Bey for GQ's February issue, you may have come across the part where they talk about "The Beyoncé Archive," which houses every work, photograph, etc. in a "temperature-controlled storage facility." Apparently, that job could've been yours.
A few days after the feature was posted, the Library Journal’s Tumblr unearthed a job listing from the “I Need a Library Job” daily email circa 2011/your greatest dreams. The request for a technically-savvy digital archivist was sent out by Parkwood Entertainment, Beyoncé’s management company. Apparently, some lucky Temple University students were also encouraged to apply.
