seeks chicago suburbs employment networking
I know many of us are looking to change careers. This is a networking site so here I go with mine.
I have 10 years of experience in book related positions; library, book store, para-cataloger for wholesale library book distributor.
Looking at online job postings in the library field are bleak. Part time, low pay, and or require MLS degree. I currently make 14 something. So also finding something at least or greater than that is difficult.
I also have a deadline. By the end of May I need to be living elsewhere. Ideally closer to Chicago with new roommates (none confirmed at this time). So I need to be securely in place in a new employment before then.
I am not limiting myself to only searching the library field but I do want to use my experience to get a position that not all entry level seekers can do. I have organizational and detail oriented skills. I can multitask and work with deadlines. I can use multiple databases to find what is needed and follow up to vendors and customers. I can edit records in MARC and use a variety of other computer programs. I am independently motivated and can operate with little or no supervision.
