Feed your RSS Reader \u2013 Blogs to follow for career advice<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"mmoore_headshot\"<\/a>Just because Google Reader is shutting down<\/a> is no reason not to keep cultivating new RSS feeds for resume, cover letter and general interview advice.\u00a0 When I graduated from high school, I was told to always tell hiring managers my biggest flaw was I was a perfectionist and that \u201cnervous\u201d and \u201cexcited\u201d read as the same emotion to the person interviewing you \u2013 so remember, you\u2019re not nervous, you\u2019re excited.\u00a0 There\u2019s much more information out there now!\u00a0 Below are five of my current favorites.\u00a0 I was going to include one more: Open Cover Letters<\/strong> (http:\/\/opencoverletters.com\/<\/a>) but Lauren Arnsman, Head Editor, Puerto Rico beat me to it, read her review of them here: https:\/\/inalj.com\/?p=10469<\/a>!
\nOn Hiring \u2013 The Chronicle of Higher Education<\/strong> http:\/\/chronicle.com\/blogs\/onhiring\/<\/a><\/p>\n

\"1\"<\/a>On Hiring is a daily blog put out by ten authors from a variety of academic backgrounds.\u00a0 Their entries provide insights on how to handle rejections gracefully, the importance of word choice and other hints and encouragements on how to navigate hiring practices in academia.\u00a0 On some college and university campuses where librarians have faculty status it\u2019s useful to have an idea of what you may be getting yourself into as well as what hoops your faculty patrons had to navigate.<\/p>\n

Hiring Librarians –<\/strong> http:\/\/hiringlibrarians.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n

\"1\"<\/a>Started when she was \u201cfrustrated job-hunting librarian,\u201d Emily Weak sent out a survey to the librarians who do the hiring to ask what they look for in a candidate.\u00a0 Recently, they\u2019ve started adding interviews with job hunters as well.\u00a0 This has been a wonderful resource for seeing some of the reasoning and needs of the person on the other side of the interview table.\u00a0 Don\u2019t just take my word for it; Emily Weak was a subject of an INALJ In Six interview last year: https:\/\/inalj.com\/?p=2287<\/a>
\nCareer Q&A with the Library Career People \u2013 LIS Jobs<\/strong>\u00a0 http:\/\/www.lisjobs.com\/careerqa_blog\/<\/a><\/p>\n

\"1\"<\/a>Originally a recurring column in Library Career Trends Newsletter<\/i>, Career Q&A has been a blog since 2007.\u00a0 They respond to reader\u2019s questions within the blog and their advice is always incredibly useful.\u00a0 If you are shy about asking a question in a public forum you can mine their archive of past posts that are arranged in useful categories including ones specifically for resumes and library school.<\/p>\n

\"1\"<\/a>Alison Green is a consultant who used to work as a manager responsible for \u201chiring, firing, promotion, managing, all of that.\u201d She blogs about everything from candidate behavior to advice on how to accept criticism gracefully and admitting to mistakes at work.\u00a0 The breadth of her information is wonderful and her advice is delivered in a wonderful conversational tone that makes it easy to read and reflect on.<\/p>\n
