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

\"\"<\/a>
\nNaomi: <\/strong>How did you find your current job?
\nCarrie: <\/strong> Through the New York chapter of the Special Libraries Association jobs website<\/a>. I\u2019ve always had better luck applying for jobs online or through postings than through networking. Perhaps this is just a fluke, since it goes against every piece of job seeking advice out there, but it has worked well for me.<\/p>\n

Naomi: <\/strong> Favorite Library you have been to?
\nCarrie: <\/strong> The New York Public Research Library on 5th Avenue in Manhattan. The organization works very hard to blend traditional and modern services, but I love the building for its beauty as a cathedral to learning and study. It\u2019s gorgeous. Also taking tours of the stacks under Bryant Park is pretty fun.<\/p>\n

Naomi: <\/strong> Favorite book
\nCarrie: <\/strong> I can\u2019t choose just one. I re-read Wuthering Heights <\/em>almost every year and every time I find something new, but the books that stand out in my mind nowadays tend toward genre fiction. These days I read for escape more than for learning, but that hasn\u2019t always been the case. Someday I may read for erudition again.<\/p>\n

Naomi: <\/strong>Favorite thing about libraries\/ library technology?
\nCarrie: <\/strong>My favorite thing about libraries AND library technology is that libraries open up so many new avenues and possibilities. Libraries have enabled so many people to learn new skills and explore new ideas. And library technologies extend the impact of libraries on people’s lives. My role probably wouldn’t have existed twenty years ago, and now that it does, technology lets me work remotely on a frequent basis, so it’s had a huge impact on my career and quality of life.<\/p>\n

Naomi: <\/strong> Any websites or feeds or blogs we should be following?
\nCarrie: <\/strong> I like In The Library With The Lead Pipe<\/a>, although honestly, between a job, a kid, and being the Vice President of ACRL\/NY<\/a>, I’m not all that up to date on my professional reading.<\/p>\n

Naomi: <\/strong> Best piece of job hunting advice?
\nCarrie: <\/strong>Stay positive, and be open to possibilities even if they’re not where you thought you would find them. Look for the best opportunity for you and your interests, not what people tell you is a “great” job. If a job isn’t working for you, don’t be afraid to leave for something better if you can’t change your existing circumstances. Change is inevitable; embrace it.<\/p>\n

I started my career in academia, made a U-turn and started my own business, had a baby and subsequently found my way into advertising \u2013 and I\u2019ve learned a lot at every step of the process. Originally from Wisconsin, I\u2019m a country girl turned New Yorker, where I\u2019ve lived for more than ten years. I am the Global New Business Librarian for Y&R, an advertising firm. I couldn\u2019t have come up with a better job if I had designed it myself. <\/em><\/p>\n
