2023 GLAM Virtual Career Jam for Library Students and Government,Library, Archive, and Museum Employers - GLAM Career Jam for Library Sciences

DROP-IN SUPPORT ON 2/24: Tech issues? Problems with the Handshake platform? Want advice on who to talk to or what to ask? Staff will be on hand to assist!: GLAM Support Zoom Room  11a-4pCT Before the Fair:Make sure your resume is ready to be seen by employers before you upload it to Handshake.Review the list of employers participating, identify your top 5-10 (based on your interests, skills, and the types of roles you think you would be a good fit for) and research their openings in advance. Search Employers on Handshake to learn more about the companies. Do not plan to visit with every employer attending the fair.Practice your Pitch! Your professional "elevator" pitch is not a script for you to memorize and recite verbatim. It is a "mental outline" to help you organize and remember the main qualities you want an employer to know when you introduce yourself. It should flow naturally and not come across as robotic.On the Day of the Fair:Dress to impress: Even though this fair is virtual, it is important to make a good impression and wear business casual/professional attire that you feel comfortable and confident in.Make sure your resume is updated and on Handshake, and that you have a quiet environment with reliable internet connection to minimize distractions. After the Fair:Write down thefirst and last name of each representative you meet with.Politely ask them if they would share an email address where you can keep in touch. Prepare to graciously accept a decline.Send them an email (if they shared contact info) or a LinkedIn connection request within 24-48 hours after the event.​​​​​​​GLAM CAREER PANELSCareer panels have concluded.
