So you want to be an information worker? Congratulations and welcome to the noble and complex world of public service! An MLS/MLIS degree can prepare you for a lot of the technical side of things, but it may not prepare you for the everyday reality of the work.
Join Brooklyn Public Library's Emma Karin Eriksson for a seminar on what to expect in the first five years of your information career. Designed for both current students and early career library workers, you'll hear about her journey, and gain practical tips about what the work is really like.
Following this event, participants will be able to:
Understand strategies for standing out in the job market
Confidently handle networking opportunities
Determine and set goals for success in their first five years
Participants will not only gain valuable and honest information from an experienced professional, they will also have the opportunity to:
Meet peers and make connections
Pick up a goodie bag filled with professional development swag
Enjoy lunch, which will be provided for all participants
Bring all the questions you have about a career in libraries!
