After three months of unemployment and about eight months of looking for a new job, I finally have received a job as a cataloger at the Rogers (AR) Public Library. It is only 2 minutes from where I live and pays more than I was expecting to get. So I am excited. After a background check is done by the City of Rogers, I will be able to start work. Probably it will be on the 27th.
I am excited to be able to continue in the library profession and not have to take "just anything that came along."
So - any of you that are looking or "still looking" - take heart and hang in there.
Networking is what did it for me. I also tried job sites like CareerBuilder.com and Monstorjob.com and looking in the newspaper's want ads. But in the end it was word of mouth and networking that found me the job I received.
About Me
- penguinn
- Rogers, Arkansas, United States
- On Warrior Librarian, I journal about my life as a librarian. Thus I can record the life and thoughts of my professional career. ...I have just updated the blogs on "Warrior's Librarian" blog and removed the ones that are broken, or no longer keep current.
On this blog: Arkansas Pilgrim I am taking a broader scope, so no matter where my profession takes me, or what comes across my mind, I can glob - I mean - blog it here. It may be a humorous memory that comes to mind, a poem I wrote, or an issue that I think I just HAVE to comment on.
I have recently begun blogging for the library where I work: Books, Bones and Beyond.
I also have a genealogy blog at Wagner Sisters. You will find the "Ghost Buster" blog here.
