I’ll pass that along. But I want to hear more about your specific reasons. It’s certainly an interesting dataset to work with.

It's a backdoor to inject meaningful discussion into nostr

Librarians are interesting.

Plus I want them to get me a job in a librarian

*library lol

I will print copies of this post and distribute them to local libraries in person and mail them to other libraries

Also: the UNESCO library of Alexandria is @bibalexOfficial on X, we must campaign for them/any of their people to join nostr

You rang? It

πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€ are you a librarian?

I were. I don't work at the library anymore but it's in my blood. Lol.

Got you. Was it a library assistant position? Did they offer you any training if you wanted to become a librarian?

I suppose the situation will be different now and also across the pond. Just stuff I'm trying to work out over here lol

My official title was "Library Technician" because I had all of the same duties and responsibilities as folks that actually went to school for it without the degree. There was a point when they did almost 100% reimbursement for library science courses but too many folks abused it so they dropped it to like 50/50.

My only real advice is don't let them push you up the chain of command before you really understand what's going on at the circulation desk. I suppose that could be true in any job though. The higher ups forget what it was like to be a little person.

Well atm I can't even imagine getting the job at all, they are weirdly highly sought after AND badly paid jobs lol
