Check out this cool new service from Hiring Librarians!
Are you interested in getting a lot of eyes on your resume or CV? We’re launching a new series here on Hiring Librarians, which will provide crowd-sourced review of your resume or CV.
Here’s how it works:
We’ll post resumes or CVs, and invite the public to respond with their feedback in the Comments section. We’ve got a few ringers – people who hire librarians – who have agreed to regularly review and comment. However, anyone and everyone on the internet will also be able comment (respectfully – we will do our best to moderate attacks and insults). We will post resumes from any LIS professional (or aspiring professional) who submits them. However, you must agree to comment on at least five other posted resumes.
To have your resume or CV posted, send it as a Word document or PNG or JPEG image to hiringlibrariansresumereview@gmail.com. It will be posted as-is, so please remove any information that you are not comfortable having publicly available (I suggest removing your address and phone number at a minimum). Please include a short statement identifying if it’s a resume or CV and describing the types of positions you’re using it for (ie institution type, position level, general focus). Finally, you will also need to confirm that you agree to comment on at least five other posted resumes.
