"When you're early in your career and lacking work experience, are you totally out of luck as a job seeker? What about if you're in the midst of a career change and your background doesn't quite live up to what your targeted job descriptions require? While you can't create experience you don't have, you can think outside of the proverbial box to help make yourself more qualified.Here's how to make yourself more marketable for jobs that might be considered a reach."...

The new issue of the ALA NMRT Footnotes newsletter includes stories on personal branding and about the use of online portfolios in the job search. In "Personal Branding for New Librarians<http://ala.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0xMzM2NDg3JnA9MSZ1PTEwMjAwMTYxNDEmbGk9NTcwMTA0Nw/index.html>," Andromeda Yelton summarizes the themes that emerged during the New Members Round Table's successful panel discussion at the ALA Midwinter Meeting in San Diego, including relationships, reputation, and responsibility. Meanwhile, Lisa Campbell's Job Talk column, "The Online Portfolio: No Longer Optional?<http://ala.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0xMzM2NDg3JnA9MSZ1PTEwMjAwMTYxNDEmbGk9NTcwMTA0OA/index.html>" discusses the growing use of online portfolios among information professionals as a tool to amplify the skills and accomplishments listed on a résumé.
NMRT Footnotes, Feb. 2011

Is Your Résumé Highlighting Your Accomplishments, or Your Job Description?<http://ala.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0xMzM2NDg3JnA9MSZ1PTEwMjAwMTYxNDEmbGk9NTcwMTA0OQ/index.html>
"A manager once told me all the resumes on his desk sounded the same. Each one was basically a list of job duties rather than a document that shared information about the person who wrote it. He was right. Resumes often end up telling what a person did instead of creating a story of what they can do. When it comes to writing a resume, it's easy to procrastinate, then resort to listing your prior jobs and each job's daily duties in the hopes that an employer will perceive your strengths. Talking about your previous positions is important because they give the reader a sense of your role and the scope of your responsibilities, but it doesnt have to be boring."...

What not to say to someone who is unemployed
<http://ala.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0xMzM2NDg3JnA9MSZ1PTEwMjAwMTYxNDEmbGk9NTcwMTA3OA/index.html>"Whether you've ever been unemployed or not, you can imagine what a trying time it is to have the rug pulled out from under your entire life - and your financial security. Then some genius comes along and says, "Hey, have you found anything yet?"
All it takes is one little well-meaning comment like that to get visions of committing a felony dancing in their head.

The problem, one unemployed person said, is that "How's work going?" is one of our go-to icebreakers as a society. When you take "work" off the table, people don't know what to do, so, after a long, awkward pause, they blurt out something like, "how's the search going? Have you found anything?"...

There is nothing as important to the future of the library and its continued place at the heart of the academic enterprise than its people and the expertise that they bring to the design, development and delivery of library services. What will those services be and who will provide them?
