For many LIS students and recent graduates, the transition from the
classroom to the professional landscape is defined by a single,
nerve-racking hurdle: the library job interview.
This session demystifies the hiring process for anyone new to the
field. We’ll cut through the formalities and talk about what hiring
managers actually want to see. Participants will learn how to really
prepare before the interview, how to successfully present yourself
during the interview, and strategies to close the interview on a
memorable note. After hearing real-life examples and gaining some
actionable strategies, you’ll move past the anxiety and leave this
workshop with the confidence (and a cheat sheet) to nail your next
interview.
