\nNaomi House\u2019s interview with success story Nicole.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Naomi:<\/strong>\u00a0 How did you find your current job?
\nNicole:<\/strong> \u00a0I found my job with FIT<\/a> through the college’s website. I started library school with the hope that I would one day become a fashion librarian and working for a place like FIT was my number one priority. Everything fell into place and I received a part-time position before I graduated with my MLS. I recently became a full-time employee at FIT. I found my position with LIM College<\/a> through the INALJ.com<\/a> daily email.<\/p>\n

Naomi:<\/strong>\u00a0 Favorite library you have been to?
\nNicole:<\/strong>\u00a0 I have to say that the FIT Special Collections and Archives (Gladys Marcus Library) is pretty special. The uniqueness of the collections are awe inspiring. The collections contain a variety of fashion artifacts ranging from the Frances Neady Collection <\/a>to the oral history of Bergdorf Goodman.<\/p>\n

Naomi:<\/strong>\u00a0 Favorite book?
\nNicole:<\/strong>\u00a0 My favorite book is The End of Fashion: How Marketing Changed the Clothing Business Forever<\/em><\/a> by Teri Agins. I read this book during my freshman year of my undergraduate program and it was really the start of my journey towards my current positions.<\/p>\n

Naomi:<\/strong>\u00a0 Favorite thing about libraries\/ library technology?
\nNicole:<\/strong>\u00a0 My favorite thing about libraries and library technology is how beautifully they blend. The knowledge that one person can gain from spending one afternoon at a library is priceless and can really lift one’s spirits.<\/p>\n

Naomi:<\/strong>\u00a0 Any websites or feeds or blogs we should be following?
\nNicole:<\/strong>\u00a0 The Reference & User Services Association list-serv<\/em> <\/a>is always an interesting read. It helps you learn about other ideas and concepts that libraries are using and how they might benefit your own patrons.<\/p>\n

Naomi:<\/strong>\u00a0 Best piece of job hunting advice?
\nNicole:<\/strong>\u00a0 There are three key steps in job hunting. One: I believe that if you can define what you would like to do in the library or information technology industry, then that will help you truly find the right job for you. Two: Using resources such as INALJ.com<\/a> and your local library consortium’s job bank will help you with your overall job search. Three: Networking, this starts with your first day in library school. You never know where a relationship with a fellow student\/professor can lead you in the future.<\/p>\n
