Can you help? Do you need help? Crowdsourced Resources for YOU

Hi Friends!

There are a number of crowdsourced services and resources here on Hiring Librarians that rely on your help to stay relevant and robust. Would you care to be part of the crowd?

1. Are you interested in getting a lot of eyes on your resume or CV?  

If so, try crowdsourced resume and CV review, here on Hiring Librarians.

Here’s how it works:

We post resumes or CVs from any library or LIS job hunter who submits one. Other job hunters, as well as a few ringers (hiring managers) and other members of the public will be able to provide feedback in the comments section. Folks who submit CVs or resumes for review must also agree to comment on at least five other posted resumes/CVs (it’s a pyramid scheme mutual aid!)

We will do our best to moderate comments, but please do be aware that this will truly be public review – anyone and everyone on the internet will be able comment.

To have your resume or CV posted:

• First, take a look at the comments on previously posted resumes/CVs and see if any would apply to yours.  Edit if necessary
• Your CV or resume will be posted as-is, so please remove any information that you are not comfortable having publicly available (I suggest removing your email address and phone number at a minimum)
• Then, send it as a PDF to [email protected]
• Please include a short statement identifying if it’s a resume or CV and describing the types of positions you’re using it for (institution type, position level, general focus)
• Finally, you will also need to confirm that you agree to comment on at least five other posted resumes/CVs

2. Have you been on a library interview recently?  Or are you prepping for one?

Do you know about The Interview Questions Repository?

The Interview Questions Repository is a Google sheet with questions that have been asked on more than 600 library or LIS interviews over the last decade.

If you’ve had a library interview recently, help this resource grow by reporting the questions you were asked.

3. Are you interested in salary transparency?

Interested in viewing Salary Info from more than 300 LIS workers? The second page of the Interview Questions Repository shares that data. If you are interested in adding your own salary info, please use this form.

I have collected additional salary transparency resources here.

If you have feedback, I’d love to hear it. Please feel free to email me or use the contact form.

4. Do you have opinions?

These surveys are still collecting responses:

• 2024 State of the LIS Job Market (for folks who hire in a LIS field)
• 2023 Job Hunter’s Survey (for people who are currently job searching)
• Hiring Library Workers and Other Information Professionals (for folks who hire in a LIS field)
• All About Cover Letters (for folks who hire in a LIS field)
• Personal Professional Websites (for people who have a personal professional website)

5. Thank you!

Please help these resources grow by participating early and often, and sharing widely with all your friends and colleagues. I love feedback, so happy to hear from you about any suggestions/questions/comments etc – hiringlibrariansATgmail

Klik Klik Boom #CVReview
Slogging through packed work weeks while reading comics can be exhausting, even though it's the only escape into another world that panels can offer. That's why I'm early in recognizing Doug Wagner's Klik Klik Boom as this year's breakout hit.

With a premise reminiscent of the cult-classic heist/coming-of-age film Baby Driver, Klik Klik Boom features a young woman who dresses like...
