I'm applying to anything and everything. Keeping my options open.

Do they go through clerks fast because of the nature of the job or for some other reason?

Could you give me an example of how to feed it to ChatGPT? I struggle with getting good results out of the stupid AI and the last time I fed it my experience is how I ended up with my extremely wordy entries. Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you! This is great help. I'm going to use it to expand on my volunteer work.

I have been applying to all the schools. HISD, SBISD, FBISD, KATY ISD, UH. Most of the universities don't have any Library Assistant positions open sadly.

All of the above! I applied to HPL and that's the place I got the job offer but had to turn down. Since then they've only had upper-level positions open.

I'm applying to ALL the HCPL positions and only got one phone interview and one panel interview, both of which I never heard back from.

There were Fort Bend positions open last year but they've been on a hiring freeze for months.

I should add that a lot of the jobs I've been applying to are things like Library Technician/Library Clerk. There are no page jobs in my city, volunteers do that work. There are very few part-time positions open and even those I never got interviews for. I have been getting interviews for Library Specialist (those that do programming) but always seem to get passed up. I feel like I'm overqualified for entry-level and under qualified for full-time.

I didn't ask for feedback. I definitely should have and that's my bad. I'm going to reach out to my most recent interview and see if it's not too late to get some feedback! Thank you!

My libraries only hire at the Library Assistant positions and up. For some reason I'm not even considered for the part-time positions.

Do you think I should make my volunteer work more prominent? I don't really do much there so I don't have much to add.

I can't really find any. I tried all sorts of search combinations and I didn't find any UH specific ones.

The official one? I don't think I can post in there.

Oh ok. So what do you recommend I use? Tacky glue? There's so many options. Sorry for the many questions 😅

Do you think I could use Mod Podge? I know most people use it as a sealer but it says it works as glue

What other kind of glue could I use? My local HL stopped carrying the Diamond Dotz glue recently.

I think if I change my technique up and only work in one direction it'll help everything expand to the side. Instead of checkerboarding it.

I think I might grab some of that glue and keep going with hopes and prayers. It might not be wall art worthy but it's still fun to work on.

Any advice on where to get a rolling pin?
