Naomi House\u2019s interview with success story Jeremiah.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"jeremiahpw\"<\/a>Naomi:<\/strong> How did you find your current job?
\nJeremiah:<\/strong> I think it was on inalj.com<\/span><\/span><\/a>. In March I was browsing through state employment pages and just thought “Hey, why not apply for this?” A couple months later I got a request for more information, interviewed and was offered the job. I was pretty relieved to find something so soon after graduation.<\/p>\n

Naomi:<\/strong> Favorite library you have been to and why?
\nJeremiah:<\/strong> It\u2019s probably not technically the fanciest library I\u2019ve been to, but one of my strongest memories of childhood is going to the Alamogordo (NM) Public Library<\/a> with my mom and sister and searching for books on how to build robots. That part never panned out, obviously, but the memory sticks with me.<\/p>\n

Naomi:<\/strong> Favorite book?
\nJeremiah:<\/strong> “The Windup Bird Chronicle” by Haruki Murakami; “The Comedians” by Graham Greene. I could probably go on, so I\u2019ll just leave those two.<\/p>\n

Naomi:<\/strong> Favorite thing about libraries\/ library technology?
\nJeremiah:<\/strong> I enjoy the fact that no matter where you are in the world, if you go to a library, you\u2019ll find a place that serves as both as a community center and a place where learning is always going on. It\u2019s exciting.<\/p>\n

Naomi:<\/strong> Any websites or feeds or blogs we should be following?
\nJeremiah:<\/strong> I\u2019m hesitant to promote my blog since I so rarely update it, but check out http:\/\/jeremiahpwood.wordpress.com<\/a> anyway. Hack Library School (http:\/\/hacklibschool.wordpress.com\/<\/a>) is a good resource for MLS students who feel like they\u2019re the only person in the world going through the uncertainty and confusion of all this. I also enjoy PC Sweeney\u2019s blog (http:\/\/pcsweeney.com\/<\/a>) for his sense of activism. And of course inalj.com<\/span><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Naomi:<\/strong> Best piece of job hunting advice?
\nJeremiah:<\/strong> 2Pac said it best, though in a different context: “Keep ya head up.” Job hunting is stressful pretty much up to the moment you get an offer (and maybe even beyond), but you WILL find a job if you are persistent. Also, being prepared, knowledgeable and open to possibilities will make you a more attractive candidate with more options.<\/p>\n

I am a May 2013 graduate of the University of Arizona, and will be joining a university in the southeastern U.S. on Aug. 1 as an Instructional Services Librarian. My new career begins after I spent 10 years as a journalist, mostly in New Mexico and Arizona. Even as a journalist, I always loved libraries, so I\u2019m really excited to start my first professional job. When not librarying or library schooling, I play music, read, write, take care of my 2-year-old daughter and watch soccer.<\/em><\/p>\n
