My first suggestion would be to make an appointment to speak your RM
professor. He not only knows you and what you are capable of but he
probably knows something about the local job market. - My 2 cents...

Subject: Career Advice
I'm seeking the advice of the lists RIM professionals. I'm
graduating with my MLIS in May. During the course of my study, I had
the opportunity to take a Records Management class, which I enjoyed
immensely. I had a very good and well respected instructor that gave us
real world assignments, and I did very well in the class. I would like
to pursue a RIM career, but I am not really sure how to break into the
field. I have an excellent grasp on the theories of Records and
Information Management but very little job-related experience.
I currently work as a Purchasing Agent for a large Public Library.
While I do maintain the records for this position, the position hasn't
necessarily afforded me the records experience necessary to meet the
requirements of most job postings I have reviewed. I'm not in a
financial position to take a low wage records clerk job. Does anyone
have any suggestions about how I might market myself to seek work in the
field, or any personal experience that might be helpful?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Sheryl
