Core Classroom Event: Your Supported Job Search

Dates: May 20-June 14, 2024

Format: 4-week virtual workshop that consists of weekly live virtual group
discussions followed by homework to do on your own each week.

Description: Looking for work is challenging and you don't have to do it
alone. This course should help you clarify what you are looking for,
sharpen your application documents (e.g. CV, resume, cover letter), find a
process that works for you, and maintain your mental and physical health.

Four sessions will provide a thorough foundation to both the practical and
psychological elements of finding a LIS job. In session one, Your Search
Parameters, students will get clear what they’re looking for and how it
aligns with what’s out there. In session two, Your Strengths, students will
get help documenting and communicating their strengths in resumes or CVs
and beyond, including: Education, Experiences, Titles, Soft Skills, and Non
reportable strengths. Session three, Your Process, will provide
organization and support for the job search process, including places to
look, strategies for applying, how to keep track of postings and practicing
for interviews. Finally, session four, Your Well Being, will address how
students can care for and prioritize their own well-being during the
difficult process of looking for work.

This course is appropriate for both new and seasoned LIS workers.

Upon completion of this course, students will:

   -

   Improve their sense and ability to describe the work they would like to
   do.
   -

   Create or improve a customizable CV or resume that accurately showcases
   their strengths.
   -

   Build a plan for their search process, and know how to find help with
   the application process.
   -

   Learn skills and a plan for self care during their job search.

Who Should Attend?:

Anyone looking for work in a LIS field

Presenters:

Emily Weak (MLIS) is the founder of Hiring Librarians. She also currently
works as the Saturday librarian for Chattahoochee Technical College and as
the Equity Advisor Coordinator for the Networking California Library
Resources Grant project. However, the bulk of her career has been in public
libraries, most recently as Senior Librarian for Programming, Outreach and
Engagement at the Oakland Public Library. She is proud of having driven the
bike library for Oakland, having started the seed library at Mountain View
Public Library, and having served on the board of directors of the
California Library Association from 2018-2021. Before becoming a librarian,
she was variously: a circus student, a cheesemonger, and a grocery store
manager. She still loves cheese and does a decent back bend.
