Interview Questions
Have you been on a library interview recently? Or are you prepping for one?
Sounds like you could use The Interview Questions Repository!
This resource holds questions that people were asked in interviews from more than 550 respondents over nearly a decade. Click on the upside down triangle to the right of the question in the header row to sort by things like interview type, position, etc.
Please help this resource grow! Share the link widely with your friends and colleagues and if you’ve had a library interview recently, report the questions you were asked.
Crowdsourced Salary Info
Interested in viewing Salary Info from more than 300 LIS workers? The second page of the Interview Questions Repository shares that data. If you are interested in adding your own salary info, please use this form.
If you have feedback, I’d love to hear it. Please feel free to email me or use the contact form.
Chat, Connect, or Follow on Way Too Many Social Media Sites
You can always email me at hiringlibrarians AT gmail or comment on one of the posts (remember when commenting used to be a thing and there were good discussions in the comments? That did happen)
If you’d like the content to come to you, you can subscribe via email or within the WordPress.com platform. Those are both available in the right sidebar, as are links to almost all of the social medias listed below.
