This webinar was recorded on Monday, November 15, 2021, for Empire State Library Network.
Event Description:
During this pandemic, job hunting has shifted the job market, and it isn’t easy to predict what will happen next. Are you wondering where the jobs are and what you can do to prepare for a job search? Perhaps you are focused on what jobs are available to people with library degrees that aren’t necessarily in libraries. And you may be reevaluating what you want out of a job/career. Join Naomi House, founder of the popular webzine and jobs list INALJ.com (formerly I Need a Library Job), as she discusses how the pandemic has affected what we consider desirable traits in our workplaces and jobs, changed what we are willing to do to land a job, and shares her experiences and tips for how and where to search for library and LIS (library and information science) related jobs.
