My Ex- Lives

And then I did this

But that made me

So I went to Library School… and then I graduated, so I had to find a job.

Here’s What I Did Listed Every Job I Ever Held BEFORE Library School -Including (in no particular order) tour guide, waitress, park ranger, actress, camp counselor administrative assistant

Then I Got Honest About My talents and my skills + My knowledge base = The things that make me unique

And then I applied to EVERY JOB where I believed I could excel -Special libraries -Sales -Database Education -Traditional Libraries -Government work -News Organizations

Found My Place… for a while

Library School Prepares You To Be An information professional A Great Searcher A Great Evaluator of Information An organizer Management material

What I Learned Don’t undervalue ANY of your work and life experiences Open your mind to those fields which will honor and value your unique experiences and gifts Keep interviewing and applying until you find the right fit
