I am really happy to hear that Greg got an interesting job! How is everyone else doing on the job front?
I have had a few interviews and have actually had to turn down a couple of positions because they had no benefits. There is a total hiring freeze at Denver Public Library due to the decrease in tax revenues, so I am continuing to clerk there, but no librarian positions are opening up.
I am looking for medical, special, and college library positions too, but things are tight here because there is a library school nearby – so lots of grads milling around competing for a small number of positions.
I am still volunteering with the state virtual reference consortium, which I enjoy, and I have started to look for other side projects that could be fun and provide some experience points.
I would love to hear how you all are doing in your job search process!
Hang in there–it will happen!
I’m working at the medical library at Boston University (where I interned in the spring). I was really lucky to find a job quickly and have it be such a good fit–two months now, and things are going great so far.
Good luck to you and all our classmates who are searching!
