The Interview

The purpose behind all of your placement work has been to gain an interview where your competence, experience, and manner will persuade an employer to select you rather than someone else. In a very real sense, this is your debut, you are on the stage, you are a performer and you need to prepare accordingly.

Attention to detail, enthusiasm for library service, and the ability to convince others that you possess needed library-specific skills are at the heart of the interview.

Typically, there will be three to four finalists who will interview for a position so there should be a reasonable opportunity for you to succeed.
