CHICAGO—Join Core from May 20 to June 14, 2024, for the Core Classroom “Your Supported Job Search.” Looking for work is challenging, and you don't have to do it alone. This course should help you clarify what you are looking for, sharpen your application documents (e.g. CV, resume, cover letter), find a process that works for you, and maintain your mental and physical health. Four sessions will provide a thorough foundation to both the practical and psychological elements of finding a Library and Information Sciences (LIS) job. In session one, Your Search Parameters, students will learn to make themselves clear on what they’re looking for and how it aligns with what’s out there. In session two, Your Strengths, students will get help documenting and communicating their strengths in resumes or CVs and beyond, including Education, Experiences, Titles, Soft Skills, and non-reportable strengths. Session three, Your Process, will provide organization and support for the job search process, including places to look, strategies for applying, how to keep track of postings and practicing for interviews. Finally, session four, Your Well Being, will address how students can care for and prioritize their own well-being during the difficult process of looking for work. This course is appropriate for both new and seasoned LIS workers.
