Helpful Blog About What Librarians Should Know

The following website is for a Blog that is called "For the Future: What Today's Youth Services Librarians Want the Next Generation to Know."

It has different interviews with public and school librarians from various parts of the country.  The librarian first explains a little background about him/herself (education, experience, current position, etc.).  Then there is an "interview."  Questions are asked to the librarian, and the librarian answers them.  The questions are mostly different for each librarian. 

One important question that is asked is, "What's something you wish you had known when you started out in this profession?"

This is important for us, because it gives us a perspective of what we should be paying attention to while being educated, or working toward our career.

The Q & A is also a great example of a mock job interview; it gives good examples of how to answer potentially common interview questions.

I definitely recommend that you check this site out.
