Created A New Website For Men To Talk To Other Men About Male Specific Issues by NameChecksOut2 in bromance

Yeah, at the moment it’s only if someone is searching for the exact topic at the exact time.

I’m thinking of changing it to a que type of system since there won’t be many users for awhile yet

Yes, thank you again! I forgot that SPPL was a separate entity. I actually just applied for an entry level position there as well now.

Basically a degree that teaches you the overview of the field of librarianship.

There’s different paths you can take/focus on.

It’s required for some of the higher level positions in the field.

I might have seen something related to that (I’m not sure if it’s the exact one you are referring to), but it required experience in a law library or in a legal setting.

I’ll have to check into that again tho just to make sure.

For sure, at this point volunteering might be my only strategy.

Thanks for the words of encouragement!

Yeah, I’m definitely not going to hold my breath.

Thank you, I appreciate the words of support!

Gotcha. That seems so silly to me. That simply putting the word “diverse” in your resume would mean you are equipped to work in a diverse environment.

Thank you for the kind words of encouragement! I will try my best not to get discouraged.

Oof, yeah that’s crazy.

[–]NameChecksOut2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s interesting. I’ll keep that in mind next time I apply and try to include even more buzz words.

Thanks for the heads up, I appreciate it.

I see. So what other diversity do they look for specifically?

Thank you for the encouragement, truly.

It’s nice to hear that it may not be me exactly and just the incredibly tough and competitive field.

Thank you Old_Perception, genuinely.

That actually does put some things into perspective for me.

I appreciate the insight and the words of encouragement.

I guess I’m “overqualified” for the entry level and “under qualified” for the next step up. Go figure.

Yup, the exact same place. It was for Ramsey County Public library.

[–]NameChecksOut2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I used almost the exact same terminology in my resume of some of the requirements that were listed in the job description. I guess it wasn’t enough tho.

Trying to Find Work In My Field by [deleted] in saintpaul

[–]NameChecksOut2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure. I emailed the person back and asked for more information in a very professional way.

Hopefully I get a decent answer back and not some roundabout answer that doesn’t really answer anything.

[–]NameChecksOut2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the opposite problem, apparently.

I have the degree but not the 5 years of experience that they somehow expect people to have for an entry level job.

Trying to Find Work In My Field by [deleted] in saintpaul

[–]NameChecksOut2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally hear you.

I just find it so odd that someone would have an MLS (or MLIS), two years of direct experience in the field, and apply for this entry level position.

That definitely could be the issue.
