My interview with success story Sarah<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nNaomi: <\/strong>How did you find your current job?
\nSarah: <\/strong>My Mom mentioned it to me first. I ignored her until I saw it in the INALJ daily digest<\/a> and thought it looked interesting. I applied for it and received a phone interview. After that they asked me to come in and complete a technology test. Two days later they offered me the job. Mother always knows best!<\/p>\n

Naomi: <\/strong>Favorite library you have been to?
\nSarah: <\/strong>The Champaign Public Library in Champaign, IL is one of my favorite libraries. Since it\u2019s been recently renovated, it has a very modern feel. The layout is very open and inviting. They do a great job providing a variety of spaces to fit their users\u2019 needs. There\u2019s several study rooms, collaborative space, and cozy reading areas. My favorite part is the awesome light up children\u2019s desk.<\/p>\n

Naomi: <\/strong>Favorite book?
\nSarah: <\/strong>Carter Finally Gets It <\/em>by Brent Crawford. It\u2019s a hoot! I\u2019m a sucker for clever YA novels. Carter is pretty much the female equivalent to Georgia Nicolson from Angus Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging<\/em> by Louise Rennison. I definitely recommend it if you are looking for a good laugh.<\/p>\n

Naomi: <\/strong>Favorite thing about libraries\/ library technology?
\nSarah: <\/strong>I love the sense of community that libraries embody and create. It\u2019s a space for people to come and explore new things, meet new people, and have fun. I enjoy being a part of that process.<\/p>\n

Naomi: <\/strong>Any websites or feeds or blogs we should be following?
\nSarah: <\/strong>Oh so many! For job hunting\/interview advice I recommend Hiringlibrarians.com<\/a> and www.askamanager.org<\/a>. I also follow ALAJobList<\/a>, INALJ<\/a>, and Libgig <\/a>on twitter.<\/p>\n

For YA related things I like readingrants.org<\/a>, www.the4yablog.com<\/a>, and www.foreveryoungadult.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Looking for cat humor? My favorite comic of all time is Cat vs. Human<\/a>. So great!<\/p>\n

Naomi: <\/strong>Best piece of job hunting advice?
\nSarah: <\/strong>Have other people look at your application, resume, and cover letters! It\u2019s really helpful to get another person\u2019s perspective on how you are coming across on paper.<\/p>\n

I graduated from the University of Kansas with my B.S. in Secondary English Education. Throughout my undergrad I held a variety of positions in libraries; dabbling in youth services, interlibrary loan, and circulation. I just finished my Master\u2019s in Library Science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and soon will be starting a job at the Mid Continent Public Library in Missouri. My hobbies include reading (of course!), hanging out with my cat, Jaspurr, and attempting to make things off of Pinterest. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
