“there's more librarians than jobs. Every vacancy will have heaps of applicants, so
rejection doesn't mean you suck.”
![Page 9: CSU Res School ALIA Presentation 2014](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110301/5446b63bafaf9f61178b4732/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

![Page 11: CSU Res School ALIA Presentation 2014](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110301/5446b63bafaf9f61178b4732/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Flexibility
be willing to move
don't forget about rural opportunities
consider corporate, medical, law, public, university, schools, local government, arts & entertainment, special, GLAM sector (Galleries, Libraries, Archives & Musems)
Don't get your heart set on being a … librarian
