    "Instead of focusing on hiring people who fit the dominant culture, libraries should explore why others are viewed as bad fits in the first place and how the organization can better appreciate people who don’t conform." -from "Is 'Fit' a Bad Fit?" #hiringlibrarians #libraryjobs

    Not only is including salary and benefit information up front in your job ads good from a transparency perspective, ads with #salaries (real numbers, not "commensurate" and other non-info statements) typically get more applications and from better quality applicants. #hiring

    Hiring librarians. Please post salary ranges and wage information on job announcements. Putting "commensurate" doesn't count. Transparency is a good thing for potential applicants.

    Missed this, but last night's great #LISprochat topic was "Common Interview Questions, the Hidden Meanings Behind them and How to Answer Them." Worth reviewing the thread by searching on that hashtag! #LISprochat #libraryjobs #jobsearch #interviewtips

    Good thoughts about applying for #libraryjobs you don't quite qualify for. Her take: Qualification = expertise + capacity + *POTENTIAL*
