career...
(FEELING LIKE A TOTAL IMPOSTER HERE)
I work hard
(If a job is worth doing,
it's worth doing

I love my job
(and I'm good at it)
Luck (& privilege)
(Right jobs avertised at
the right time)
7. My tips for
progressing
your library
career
Network
Go to conferences, talk to people, develop a professional
network.
Learn to teach
Nearly every library role will involve an element of teaching,
public speaking or communicating with the public.
Tech skills are a bonus
Technology skills are always useful to have, no matter what
area of librarianship you are interested in.
