What to wear for a job interview at a library?

What you wear to an interview must express your individuality and personal taste.

It probably is that the common stereotype that librarian wears neat collared shirts, slacks, ankle socks, and loafers. If that is not your thing, don't wear that or you'll lack confidence and seem uncomfortable about looking weird.

The key is wearing things that you comfortable in, like a fitted t-shirt that isn't too revealing and a pair of nice jeans. Don't go overboard, skimpy, or look like a slob. Go out and buy something if you want that you know looks great on you! If you wind up to be trying too hard even for a job at the library, it'll be obvious.

Another tip is: Wear something young and stylish and balance it with something more classic and conservative.
E.g.) Astylish summer knit/top/tunic, and trousers.
E.g.) Skinny/wide-leg jeans on bottom, and a neat collared shirt in dark blue or something on top.

What to wear for job interview at library?

The following are accepted standards in the job market. Follow them if you want to make a positive first impression. These guidelines will of course vary from country to country and the type of job you are applying for. The best way to find out how you should dress up for an interview is to dress a little bit higher than the employees you would be working with.

Women:
· Don't wear your skirts too short or too tight, heels to high, or blouses too low and too sheer.
· Skip the loud nail colors and long nails. Keep your makeup subtle.
· Carry an extra pair of stockings just in case and wear them, even in the summer.
· Don't wear too much jewelry; keep it simple. Don't wear lots of earrings.
· Conservative blouse and suit, with skirt not too short, sensible heels, subtle make up and jewelry. Fill only one hole with earrings if you have many. Never wear large hoop earrings.

Men
· Don't wear an earring.
· Keep your nails clean and trimmed and remember to shave.
· Wear knee length socks that match your pants to avoid "the sock gap."
· A dark suit, white shirt, tie and dark oxford shoes. (This will vary from country to country and the type of job being applied for).

Everyone
· If you think you need a haircut, get one.
· Don't splash on too much perfume or aftershave. Many people are allergic to scents.
· Don't wear a nose ring.
· Take a shower that morning and wear a deodorant.
· Polish your shoes and press your clothes the night before.
· Absolutely don't chew gum or smoke.
· If you suffer from sweaty palms, keep a handkerchief with a little baby powder or cornstarch in it. Before your interview, go into the restroom and dry your hands with it.
· Go to the interview alone. Don't bring a friend or relative.
· Get a good night's sleep the night before.


Peace and every blessing!

Job interview for library tomorrow? Tips?

I'm going to be a junior next year and our library has a total of 6 positions for student pages and 1 is currently open now. I already volunteer at the library in circulation.

I have an interview tomorrow for the job and I was wondering what type of questions I should ask and some possible answers to a few questions like: What is your greatest weakness? The job is pretty much shelving and organizing the books, which was stated in the description. I asked my friend who already works there for some tips and he told me ask a lot of relevant questions and think of times when I have been on a team and mostly team orientated things. I can't think of much, but I feel like I have a few things to say.

I don't do team sports, mostly because I can't find a sport I like and the people that make up the teams that I know at school are...just mean..

I'm mostly looking for tips and possible questions to ask that can help me land this job because I REALLY WANT IT!!! :D Thanks!

Library assistant job interview?

First, while knowledge of Dewey Decimal is always a good thing, you said you were applying at a college, correct? Most academic libraries use the LOC (Library of Congress) classification, so you should familiarize yourself with that more than the DDC. Also, learn about the patron profile. What kind of students at the college are most likely to use the library? What classes do they take? What are their library needs? Emphasize your customer service skills most of all. Talk about how friendly you would be with the public and how you are able to deal with conflicts and unusual situations. If you read a lot, talk about your readers' advisory skills (basically, how well you can recommend books to a patron, although this comes up more in a public than academic library). The website below has some very useful interview tips; I've used it frequently. Good luck!

What not to say in a library job interview? (serious question)?

Even though it may not be a dream job...treat it as one! Give your 100% and complete honesty at all times...so how friendly you are, but not so friendly that your trying to kiss a**...

Be confident about yourself...
Try not to think to much about the interview...talk to the person as if they are a long time friend

If you need to work limited hours...don't say that you "can't" do anything
For instance,
You may want Sundays off or something
"If I am given the opportunity to work for you I'd like to mention that I would appreciate if I could avoid working on Sundays, but if my request influences my opportunity then I can work around my work schedule"

Be respectful!
