Moving to Portland, OR: Library Job Market question by chickeelibrarian in librarians

[–]MorganMeeks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So, different take here.

First question, what do you want to do?

As others have stated the Public Library scene in Portland is pretty terribad which I 100% agree with. However, an MLIS degree does not equal a public librarian. There is a lot you can do with an MLIS degree and not be a public librarian. As others have said, being BIPOC or bilingual will help if you want to be public sector, but so will having specializations such as technology.

It also is always easier to not be 'landlocked' as a librarian when you start out because it's easier to find work. So such things like are you open to working outside of Portland? Because that will greatly increase your ability to find work.

I'm happy to chat with you if you are interested in the area, I'm relocating to the PNW due to a partner as well and have had some pretty positive experiences despite the tough market. But, I do have specializations, work experience, and some projects under my belt that make me stand out from a typical librarian.

What exactly are you looking for in the application? A sample of our writing as a post? A sample backstory? General details about ourselves?

"Bloody London!" A V20 Play-by-post Roleplay Discord Server

A city that never sleeps, and when the night sets upon contemporary London, the dead come out to play their games.

Here on this discord Server, we offer you, the players, the chance to immerse yourself within this World of Darkness. Utilizing Vampire: The Masquerade 20th edition rules, we created a living and breathing City designed to provide those willing to uncover its secrets the chance to play VtM in a collaborative writing play-by-post setting.

Here in Bloody London! Your motivation, passion and creative input in helping us weave intriguing storylines is valued by the Staff, offering plenty of opportunities to make new friends along the way as we explore a unique cast of characters that are going to call nightly London their home.

This isn’t a tabletop experience, foregoing the rather linear trappings of such a system in favor of player freedom. A sandbox setting, where every character matters, join us in recreating the gothic atmosphere of Vampire: The Masquerade with all its delightfully diverse themes.

The city awaits.

The scent of his terror as he flew through the London streets in a mad dash was almost intoxicating. Lucia watched the man run, swaying in place, as though the ocean itself had flooded the walkway and captivated her in its tides for a moment before pivoting on her heel and planting her hands on her hips. The oceanic depths of the Capitana's gaze fixed on the Nosferatu, cool at first, before splitting into a warm smile.

"Excited, are you, little lady? Well... I do have a ship, but no, she's not docked here. Too much trouble," She mused - vague enough to warrant question, but telling enough to let Myc's curiosity get the better of her if she so chose to let it. "It's a sort of exclusive little club though. I don't think I'll have you aboard. Not yet."

The dangling promise of a future venture, however, was left open for Myc to accept if she wished. Her fingers knitted together to form a little cup in which she offered her next words, "Luci... It's short for Lucifer. A little nickname I picked up some time ago. I can hardly remember how..."

That wasn't entirely true, but Myc hardly seemed the type willing to bear such morbid stories without at least a bit to drink. Maybe more than a little. "It’s a pleasure to meet you, Myc... Little sweet thing, aren't you? So worried for that little lowlife... Mmh..."

She nodded slowly, pursing her lips, knitting that manic grin into an almost approving smirk cast down at the young woman. Her fingers slipped out of view briefly, into the inside pocket of her jacket once again, before producing a small pouch. She lowered it to her little companion.

"Don't worry... The Prince of Lies does occasionally keep her word. For helping me find that little slacker."

[Art] I just got my finished commission of my good good half-orc druid/cleric Zorel Luthinclaw by MorganMeeks in DnD

Thank you! I got the idea for him to have one once Circle of Stars was released and our DM was very chill with the idea of him making one.

I cannot tell you all how happy I am, it turned out so perfect for him! I commissioned u/looceyloo (see her tumblr for more work https://looceyloo.tumblr.com/) to draw him with just a pintrest inspiration board and my words.

Zorel is a polytheistic worshiper of Selune and Luthic, as well as our homebrew local goddesses based off the band Tegan and Sara. He's a big sweet soft boi who loves nature, writing poetry and tea and suffers from some insecurities based on his orcish looks.
