“I’m starting my final semester of my MLIS and have been on the job hunt for about two months with no success yet. Since I’m still a student, I’ve been applying to internships and entry-level positions mostly in academic organizations, but not exclusively. I typically edit this base resume based on the job description. I’ve considered trying to re-organize this into a CV, but am not really sure how to do so.”

“I’m a new-ish archivist looking for my next opportunity. I’d like to either stay in academic environments and find a growth opportunity, or pivot to corporate archiving from academic libraries. Obviously, I’d need to create a separate resume template for each path; targeted suggestions given this base template are welcome.”

This 1 page resume was submitted by a job hunter who says,

“I am a recent graduate applying for entry-level archives positions, primarily in academic libraries, but casting a wide net to non-academic jobs as well.

I have read some of the other feedback about academic positions preferring CVs rather than resumes, but I don’t have much related experience aside from what’s listed here. I’m wondering if it would still be best to use a CV with added unrelated work experience (primarily graphic design and service industry work)? I also don’t have anything in the way of publications or presentations to add to a CV.”

“I am a grad student with 1 semester left to finish my MLS … I have worked in the public library in a semi-rural community of < 20,000 residents for 17 of the last 20 years. I find concisely presenting my experience onto 1 page to be quite challenging. I am committed to serving in Outreach Services as a priority position and path in public libraries, although community colleges are another possibility.”
