00:22:50 Lindokuhle Mbiko: Hello everyone, I'm from South Africa.. I can hear you all 00:22:59 Sarah Alnakdali: Hey Melissa and Rebekah! I'm at a Library in the Atlanta area too! 00:23:02 Kristi Henry: Hi. Rebekah 00:23:31 Angell Standfield: Angell from Houston Public Library 00:23:45 Angell Standfield: Good Afternoon 00:23:53 Dietrich Davis: Hello from Prince George's County Memorial Library System, Maryland. 00:24:02 Tonia Owens: Augusta Richmond County Public Library 00:24:08 Kristen Burkholder: Hey Jenna, I used to live in Jackson County! 00:24:08 Tonia Owens: Hello 00:24:17 Kayla Byrd: Hello I am with Washington County Library in Tennessee. 00:24:19 Chrystal Bucchioni: Hello from Virginia 00:24:37 Christopher Girgenti: Who doesn't? 😉 00:24:53 Candace Scheller: Hello from Oklahoma 00:25:34 Rodrigue NEHME: yes I can see 00:25:55 CATHERINE KING: will this be recorded and sent out? 00:26:06 Jeannie Luu: yes 00:26:08 Rodrigue NEHME: they said yes 00:34:26 Hillary Arieux: what if you're a new graduate who wants to work in an academic library and have no real experience to add to your VC 00:34:33 Hillary Arieux: *cv 00:35:17 Daphne Bechrakis: If you're a few years into your career, should you still include stuff you did as a library student? Like practicums? 00:35:39 J H: Yes, excellent Melissa! 00:36:03 Rodrigue NEHME: me too and they told me even the cv should be one page 00:36:11 Rodrigue NEHME: too 00:43:09 Tiffany Dvorak: i am 00:43:12 Francisco Juarez: i am not 00:43:14 Vonda Henderson: what if you have two jobs a full time and part time job? Which one do you list first? 00:43:16 Kristi Henry: yes 00:43:17 Lorraine Patrick: I'm not familiar with applicant tracking systems. 00:43:17 Christopher Girgenti: I am 00:43:23 Deanna White: Yes! 00:43:25 Claire Bowling: Yes 00:43:29 Carol Walters: I am. 00:43:34 Francisco Juarez: nevermind, it was a lot more simple than i thought 00:44:16 Kristen Burkholder: Vonda, as someone who does hiring, I would want to see the current job most relevant to the job you're applying for listed first. If they are both relevant, then full-time first. 00:50:10 Lisa Weaver: What if date for graduation is asked on the application? 00:50:48 Hillary Arieux: I've had several library jobs over the years and the online applications always ask for the month and the year for where you worked in each position. I know the years but not the exact months for some of them 00:51:53 Deanna White: My cover letters have always been read and mentioned in interview 00:52:01 Christina Shin: @Lisa Weaver: If the application asks for specific dates, it should be included. But I think Melissa was saying that for the resume or CV she does not include dates. So yes on an application, your choice on your resume or CV. 00:52:22 Lisa Weaver: thanks 00:52:23 Sarah Alnakdali: What if you are almost finished with an MLIS and want to apply for a librarian job? Should I put expected date of graduation? 00:52:26 Claire Bowling: I've heard to send a cover letter even if it is not included in the directions. What are your thoughts? 00:58:29 Christina Shin: @Sarah Alnakdali: Based on what Melissa said, sounds like yes, in your specific situation you would want to include expected date of graduation to cover all the bases and not confuse the hiring panel. You might want to copy and paste your question over to the Q&A box if you'd like for Melissa to see your question (I think she said she can't see chats). 00:59:12 Deanna White: Is it okay to say To Whom It May Concern? 00:59:38 Francisco Juarez: I've been using "dear search committee" and now idk if that's right... 00:59:44 Shannon Ruggieri: If addressing a specific person but don't know if Mr. or Mrs. should you just put full name in cover letter? 01:01:25 Kristen Burkholder: Francisco, if it is an academic librarian position, then it is usually a search committee doing the hiring so that would be correct. Staff positions are more likely to be hired by a single manager. (I've done both.) 01:02:03 Francisco Juarez: that's good to know, Kristen. I wasn't aware of that, thank you 01:03:53 Janet Makoujy: As a manager, please do not contact me via email and address me by my first name only in your salutation. My full name, title and degrees are listed in my signature line. We are not best friends, you are applying for a job in my department. 01:04:01 J H: what if one worked for a terrible, unfair manager, for a number of years? 01:04:28 Alan Bugg: Community partners can provide EXCELLENT references! 01:08:28 Dani Carmack: Wonderful presentation, I was scribbling down notes. Thanks! 01:08:42 Daphne Bechrakis: Thank you so much! This was excellent! 01:08:47 April Robins: Great presentation. Very helpful 01:08:56 Hillary Arieux: so many job postings still don't list the salary of the position they are hiring for. for many younger librarians this is considered out of date. when is it appropriate in the interview process to ask for clarification about the position's salary? 01:09:21 Velappan Velappan: Thanks for the wonderful presentation. 01:09:31 Denise Smith: Great info! Thanks for sharing your expertise! 01:09:33 Sheila Waldrep: Wonderful presentation. Thank you. 01:09:41 J H: thank you, very concise, practical presentation! 01:10:56 Kristi Henry: Thank you!! 01:11:11 Carol Walters: Thank you so much. Great information and presentation! 01:11:16 Deanna White: Thank you for your presentation! 01:11:21 Dietrich Davis: Thank you, very informative! 01:11:56 Stephanie Herm: Thanks for sharing your information! 01:12:51 Angell Standfield: Thanks 01:12:55 ANITA MULLINS BROWN: What is CV? 01:12:58 Rodette Jones: Thanks for this very informative seminar 01:13:25 Geetha Karkera: Curriculum Vitae 01:13:26 Vonda Henderson: Thanks! 01:14:18 Claire Bowling: If you can find a budget document, sometimes salaries are listed to get an idea. 01:14:19 ANITA MULLINS BROWN: This is wonderful; so many changes in language, protocol, general formatting. 01:14:34 Margret Thorpe: Thank You Ms. Lockaby! 01:14:38 Melissa Terry: In Colorado it is law that we have to provide salary information up front 01:15:07 Deanna White: Is it okay to say To Whom it May concern 01:15:08 Melissa Terry: It's very helpful 01:15:11 Janet Makoujy: If the library has a union, you can look at salary information and their step scales. 01:16:06 Rodrigue NEHME: is it possible to get some "prototype" of resume, cv, and cover letter? 01:16:34 Deanna White: Thank you for asking for me :) 01:18:12 Francisco Juarez: for additional experience joining an ALA Core class like https://www.ala.org/core/fundamentals-electronic-resources-acquisitions 01:18:21 Talya Atallah: Very informative! Thank you so much! 01:18:34 Kaila Clark: Thank you for a great webinar! 01:18:34 Christopher Girgenti: I love the ALA Core Classes! 01:18:36 Sarah Alnakdali: Thank you! This was very informative! 01:18:38 Lois Vinson: Thank you! 01:18:40 Amy Tollison: Thank you! 01:18:42 Kristen Burkholder: Thank you so much, Melissa! 01:18:43 Christopher Girgenti: Thank you! 01:18:46 Melissa Cavender: Thank you! 01:18:48 Rachel Friedman: thank you! 01:18:52 Elaine Cummings-Young: Thank you! 01:18:54 Burda Vandeborne: Thank you. 01:18:55 Deanna White: Thank you!!! 01:18:56 Joanna Coelho: Wonderful presentation.
