Can you help? Do you need help? Crowdsourced Resources for YOU

Hi Friends!

There are a number of crowdsourced services and resources here on Hiring Librarians that rely on your help to stay relevant and robust. Would you care to be part of the crowd?

1. Are you interested in getting a lot of eyes on your resume or CV?  

If so, try crowdsourced resume and CV review, here on Hiring Librarians.

Here’s how it works:

We post resumes or CVs from any library or LIS job hunter who submits one. Other job hunters, as well as a few ringers (hiring managers) and other members of the public will be able to provide feedback in the comments section. Folks who submit CVs or resumes for review must also agree to comment on at least five other posted resumes/CVs (it’s a pyramid scheme mutual aid!)

We will do our best to moderate comments, but please do be aware that this will truly be public review – anyone and everyone on the internet will be able comment.

To have your resume or CV posted:

• First, take a look at the comments on previously posted resumes/CVs and see if any would apply to yours.  Edit if necessary
• Your CV or resume will be posted as-is, so please remove any information that you are not comfortable having publicly available (I suggest removing your email address and phone number at a minimum)
• Then, send it as a PDF to HiringLibrariansPeerReview@gmail.com
• Please include a short statement identifying if it’s a resume or CV and describing the types of positions you’re using it for (institution type, position level, general focus)
• Finally, you will also need to confirm that you agree to comment on at least five other posted resumes/CVs

2. Have you been on a library interview recently?  Or are you prepping for one?

Do you know about The Interview Questions Repository?

The Interview Questions Repository is a Google sheet with questions that have been asked on more than 600 library or LIS interviews over the last decade.

If you’ve had a library interview recently, help this resource grow by reporting the questions you were asked.

3. Are you interested in salary transparency?

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.

I have collected additional salary transparency resources here.

If you have feedback, I’d love to hear it. Please feel free to email me or use the contact form.

4. Do you have opinions?

These surveys are still collecting responses:

• 2024 State of the LIS Job Market (for folks who hire in a LIS field)
• 2023 Job Hunter’s Survey (for people who are currently job searching)
• Hiring Library Workers and Other Information Professionals (for folks who hire in a LIS field)
• All About Cover Letters (for folks who hire in a LIS field)
• Personal Professional Websites (for people who have a personal professional website)

5. Thank you!

Please help these resources grow by participating early and often, and sharing widely with all your friends and colleagues. I love feedback, so happy to hear from you about any suggestions/questions/comments etc – hiringlibrariansATgmail

MOVIE REVIEW: TALK TO ME
I'm all for assisted suicide, but I wouldn't go as far as putting together an entire theatrical feature on it. The Philipou brothers' 2023 A24-backed production Talk to Me is a gamble on that liberal after-school special preachy nonsense, and it pays off well enough thanks to the fact that the film was shot in Australia. I honestly don't think this film would have been worth...

Klik Klik Boom #CVReview
Slogging through packed work weeks while reading comics can be exhausting, even though it's the only escape into another world that panels can offer. That's why I'm early in recognizing Doug Wagner's Klik Klik Boom as this year's breakout hit.

With a premise reminiscent of the cult-classic heist/coming-of-age film Baby Driver, Klik Klik Boom features a young woman who dresses like...

The Flash #CVReview
Once the DC/National Comics logo appeared I knew that Andy Muschietti's The Flash was going to be a crowd-pleaser for comic book enthusiasts, and once again Warner Bros. did not let our community down. Loosely following Geoff Johns' Flashpoint epic as well as Flash creator Gardner Fox's "The Flash of Two Worlds",...

I have no idea how or why Natalya got an opportunity to show her mug out in Jeddah for the tenth annual Night of Champions, but somehow she made it in the ring to contend for Rhea Ripley's Smackdown Women's Championship.

MUSIC REVIEW: HU$H - SKUNKWORKS
When BLIGHT dropped I was in South Dakota listening to HU$H off the strength of (Top 5 MC) Tech N9ne's name for pure workout fuel like I was a member of the Fatu tribe.

Nadia Manzoor has made a statement with Polite Society by putting out an unapologetically feminist film, but what makes Polite Society stand out is that the feminist film is neither insulting or oppressive towards it's potential male audience.

I caught an evening showing of Chevalier last night and when the credits rolled I couldn't help but exclaim "What an useful idiot!".

There were multiple points in the film where I couldn't help but point out the stupidity of Chevalier, who as the film...

MOVIE REVIEW: Air
"Air" is Affleck's letter to Hollywood about why the rich should get richer. A picture about how U.S. corporations undersell the artists that the land produces.

MOVIE REVIEW: Evil Dead Rise
Lee Cronin has hit the box office with an excellent big budget debut. Taking all the humor and tropes from previous iterations of Evil Dead and Army of Darkness, Cronin made the bold move of scripting a family in an apartment in Cali, instead of the usual cabin in the woods bit for Evil Dead Rise.

Whatever oedipal issues Ari Aster has, he really needs to keep it to himself. "Beau Is Afraid" is more "Beau Is A Boomerang", as in a boomerang kid.
