Houston, President s RUSA president I’m often asked for career ad- vice. How can I get my first professional job? How Building Your can I succeed in it and build my career? How do I make the next move to a higher level position? AThe job market for librarians isn’t as extensive and robust Professional as we’d like it to be, but at the same time, good jobs are out there—jobs that have the potential for growth and offer pos- sibilities for meaningful work. As someone who has been Toolkit the hiring manager for many librarian positions throughout my career, including many entry-level positions, I can tell you that there is competition for the best jobs and that our needs as employers are becoming more complex. How can you position yourself to compete in this job market? How can you build a successful, rewarding career? The first and most important piece of advice that I’d give to new professionals is to recognize that very few librar- ian positions are truly entry-level any more. Most require some experience, often in an emerging subfield of librari- anship. If you take a look at the ALA Joblist you’ll notice that professional positions, even those that do not involve supervision or management, generally ask for experience in a specific area. MLS candidates should be aware of this and plan accordingly. If your program offers internships or the opportunity to work in the institution’s libraries, take full advantage of these opportunities and seek out significant Anne M.

It’s a win-win situation, helping the library to move forward on key initiatives while allowing the employees to gain valuable experience. An added benefit for the MLS student who pursues significant work experience is getting to know librarians who can serve as references. If you’re not sure what sort of experience to pursue, look at the ALA job listings, identify positions of interest to you, examine the required qualifications and po- sition yourself to be a strong candidate by working toward the qualifications listed.

The Class of 1961 Legacy: The American Tradition in Performance is another in that line of outstanding contributions, and one which perhaps required even more effort to achieve, in that it also involved raising considerable funds from ‘61s ‘round the girdled earth.

It's not just a compliment, it's also an award — one among many that Scott Brick has received in his short yet highly successful career as an audiobook narrator. Brick began narrating in 1999 and has quickly racked up an impressive resume, filled with high-profile books from authors like Tom Clancy , Kurt Vonnegut , Isaac Asimov and more. It's a career that was never planned, though. Brick was happy as an actor in Los Angeles until his love for old-time radio spurred him to call in some favors to get some time in a recording booth. The rest, as they say, is history — a history now dotted with 40 Earphones Awards and a Golden Voice. Todd Burns caught up with the narrator recently to talk accents, suspicious white powders, and the narrator for his debut novel. In This Feature You came to audiobooks through acting. How has your background in theater helped you when you stepped into the recording booth? It’s funny, I was just teaching my first class in audiobook narration and I kept talking about my theater experience. And as I left, I was like, "You want to do some homework? Go do classical theater." It helps in so many ways.
