Applying for new jobs can be a daunting task. At times, it feels like you're sending your resume off to a black abyss.

But there's a reason you're not getting called in for interviews. What you need is a well-written librarian resume.

Here’s what a recruiter is looking for in a Librarian resume

  • Proper resume formatting: Your resume should be broken down into sections. Typical sections include a header, summary, experience, education, and skills section.
  • Relevant experience: Each job is different but recruiters look for someone with a similar background. Tweak your previous experience for the position you're applying for.
  • Computer literacy: Library databases are digitally managed these days. Not to mention, you'll often have to provide tech assistance to visitors.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication: Librarians often work directly with faculty, staff, students, and researchers. This requires excellent communication.
  • Quantified data: How many people did you serve? How many books have you cataloged? Have you spear-headed any programs? How large of a database did you manage?
PRO TIPWhen you're writing the bullet points for each of your previous positions, don't just list your job responsibilities. Hiring managers know what librarians do. They understand the job. Focus on your achievements and the positive changes you brought to your organization.
