JobHunter’s Revenge! The Survey

Emily over at Hiring Librarians and I have come up with a great new survey for the frustrated job hunter as well as the successful one.  Tell HR and Hiring Committees what you really think by taking the survey here! We’ll be tabulating and posting the results soon too!  Happy venting!

All the Success Stories!

728 This is the number of fans who have shared their job hunting success with INALJ since we were founded on October 16, 2010!  I am so thrilled to have played even a small role in their success and I hope this number multiplies many times in the next few years. In the meantime read…

Happy Holidays…and we are back!

Happy Holidays Everyone! We are back from Christmas vacation and ready to wrap up this fantastic year!  Big changes will be coming.  I am adding a ton more volunteers early in the new year and we’ll have state pages.  So excited and thankful for everything! All the best to you and yours! Naomi

Success Stories or why we do this!

When INALJ began, back when it was called “I Need a Library Job,” I started a list of all fans who found jobs.  As we near 700+ I thought I’d share the list here as well as all the fabulous success stories and interviews here on INALJ.com. Congratulations and here is hoping we reach 1,000+…

Mahalo!

Next week I will be back to 100% instead of 66%.  Vacation on the wonderful island of O’ahu has been incredible!  I was able to speak at the University of Hawaii Manoa and be a guest at the annual meeting of the SLA Hawaiian Pacific Chapter!  I did get plenty of rest too! Mahalo!

Underemployed?

This statement, “I am underemployed,” I have been hearing quite a bit.  Knowing that the only thing that you control in the process is you ask yourself, what do I need to do differently?  Are you really underemployed because the job market is bad or is it because you can or won’t be flexible?  Is…

INALJ.com is One!

The past year at INALJ.com has been dynomite!…

INALJ & Sandy

Hi Everyone, Fingers crossed this storm, Sandy, won’t hit the metro  DC area where I live with the force predicted.  Fingers crossed we keep power!  I will do all I can to keep INALJ going next week but if you do not get your digest/jobs you’ll at least know why. Stay safe everyone!

Job Scrapers

Reposted from 3/5/2012 One of the unique qualities of the INALJ daily jobs email is that most of the listings come from listservs and postings the volunteers and I find on major library job websites. We use job scrapers as well but we are careful to check the timeliness of the postings to be certain…
