Jobs I have applied for and ones that looked the most interesting
Some of the jobs I have applied for:
Liaison librarian/subject librarian, assistant librarian (law library), junior research specialist (special library), media librarian, customer services librarian, library assistant (law firm), law librarian, library training specialist, research publications officer, subscriptions librarian, information services librarian, assistant librarian (learning support services), librarian (sole charge), resources and access assistant, librarian (public library)
Jobs I've thought about applying for:
Team leader (campus library), resources librarian, secondary school librarian
The job I got most excited about was subject librarian for Classics at the University of Auckland. I have a BA in Classics and I have always had an interest in the subject. It was a one year secondment and I even knew the guy who had the job from my TELSIG group. I wrote a very good, passionate cover letter but I did not get an interview. Why the hell not!? Another job I was very interested in was research publications officer because it would be a change of direction and I'm interested in open access and scholarly publishing. But again no interview - I was gutted. Another job that looked appealing now that I think of it was customer services librarian (at Unitec), simply because I have so much experience in customer service.
I've applied for several jobs in law libraries - whether I'd enjoy that kind of work is hard to say. I did have an interview with a big law firm once. I do know I'd prefer working in a smaller firm rather than a big firm. I guess I prefer working in a more "casual," cozy sort of environment.
