Reading about your horrible commute and lack of flexibility due to the weather is making me curious about that interview you posted about.. When is it? If it's already taken place, how did it go? Or maybe you only sent your resume?

I don't have an interview yet.  I just applied for 2 jobs.  Honestly I am not all that hopeful though.  There have been quite a few libraries in the area that have closed recently so there are a lot of out of work librarians with WAY more experience than me.

Thats rough... I hope you're able to find something soon.  Although, you may be more hireable if you'd be receiving a lesser salary than some of the other experiences libs.

My boss keeps telling me that, but I have applied to quite a few positions and never get an interview so honestly I am not all that hopeful.  I am really starting to think I may never become a librarian and will either a) be a library tech at my job forever or b) find work outside of libraries.

I hope that isn't the case. At least your current boss is supportive of you possibly finding something new.

Yeah it is nice that I can talk to my boss about it and she won't freak out.  She hired me knowing that I wasn't going to stay for too long.  She was hoping for 2 years and so far I have been here a year and a half so she knew my search was coming.
