My interview with INALJ success story, Jess<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Naomi: <\/strong>How did you find your current job?
\nJess: <\/strong>Through INALJ Jobs Page<\/a> for Virginia.<\/p>\n

Naomi: <\/strong>Favorite library you have been to?
\nJess: <\/strong>Probably the Rust Library, which is in the Loudoun County Public Library<\/a> system. It was doing most if not all the positive things we discussed in the iSchool.<\/p>\n

Naomi: <\/strong>Favorite book?
\nJess: <\/strong>Blind Assassin <\/em>by Margaret Atwood<\/p>\n

Naomi: <\/strong>Favorite thing about libraries\/ library technology?
\nJess: <\/strong>Besides that most everything is no fee? I love that libraries present a place where people of different backgrounds can interact for the purpose of consuming information. I also love customer service without the angle of trying to sell people anything. Oh, and downloading eBooks to my Nook <\/a>is pretty amazing.<\/p>\n

Naomi: <\/strong>Any websites or feeds or blogs we should be following?
\nJess: <\/strong>I follow Library Advocates on Tumblr<\/a>, and they provide important information about the field as well as the lighter side of library science.<\/p>\n

Naomi: <\/strong>Best piece of job hunting advice?
\nJess: <\/strong>Don’t be afraid to have someone, especially an employer, edit your resume. I had the head of Public Services at UMD Libraries edit mine, and it really made a difference. His biggest piece of advice was to show the impact you’ve made on your previous or current jobs.<\/p>\n

I was born and raised in Central Virginia, raised by two bookworms, so I was doomed from the start. I attended George Mason University for my undergraduate, where I majored in Communications and minored in History. I went to graduate school at University of Maryland where I entered their iSchool, immediately after I earned my B.A. from Mason. I graduated from UMD this past May with my M.L.S., and was hired in the beginning of June to work for Loudoun County Public Libraries as a Reference Librarian. I spend my free time reading (obviously), watching British television shows, and reblogging things on Tumblr. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
