Calling all library job seekers!

SLA Maryland Chapter Spring Job Search Workshop
Saturday, April 21st -- 8:15 am-2:30 pm
Universities at Shady Grove in Rockville, MD

Stephanie Callaway and her team of professionals from SPARKS HR, a leading human resources firm in the metro area, will be on hand for presentations and interactive sessions on resume writing and cover letters.  Participants will also learn about the “Seven Deadly Sins of Resume Writing,” see some samples of resume and cover letter “dos” and “don’ts,” and will get a chance to put their own resumes and cover letters to the test during the interactive portions of the presentation.

Plans are also in the works for a panel of librarians who have had a hand in hiring at their workplaces.  What do they look for in a new hire?  What questions do they ask? What should you be prepared for?  These and other issues of concern to job seekers will be up for discussion during this session.

SLA Fellow Chris Olson will also be offering an interactive session on “Personal Branding.”  Participants will learn how to create their own brand and then can put these skills to the test—a vital tool in promoting oneself in today’s job market.

Throughout the day, participants will be given the chance to interact in groups based upon their current experience in the library and information science field, ranging from students and new graduates to librarianship as a second career to retirees who want to return to work.

As an added bonus, professional photographer Helen John will also be on hand at the conclusion of the workshop for participants interested in obtaining a professional headshot for online profiles such as LinkedIn and Facebook (for an additional charge).
