My school uses me for nothing but testing. Pretty sure I want to go back to public libraries. I am unable to get any work done at my school. I cry every day. I dread going in to work. I hate my supervisor. Why is it admin thinks I have nothing to do???

None of them have actually had to try and do what we do. They don't understand all that goes into our jobs and often we get pulled for another use. You are not the only one seeing that more and more administrators are portraying more often that school libraries are unimportant. Hang in there and advocate for yourself. It's harder at the high school level to get kids interested in the library, so it's easy for admin to pull you for other things.

Low billable, low pressure work in privacy law? Slowly realizing that as my boys get older, the money isn’t worth what I’m missing out on.

I have limited privacy experience despite being hired for that reason… Have my CIPM and CIPP/US /E and /C. Remote preferred; hubs is pilot with cool intl transfer opportunities. Money isn’t issue.

I have recently joined Infosys and they have put me in a project where I will be the only guy working in the team and the team lead is at the onsite location. Are such projects good? Because I haven’t worked like this anywhere before.

Hi everyone,
I have an upcoming Product Manager interview with BCGDV. HR told me it would be a 45 minutes Zoom call with a Product Director. I’ve heard there’s no case interviews, but they’re pretty vague about what the interview is like. Can anyone share their BCGDV recruiting experience and how I can better prepare for it? Thank you so much!

What are other librarians doing for our virtual students? In need of ideas

Tips for a first year school librarian for the first month of school? I've taught ELA in this building for 3 years, but this will be my first year as the LRC director.

Our middle school has 30% remote only students. I am looking for a place to purchase multi-user ELA titles such as The Giver and Fahrenheit 451. Is this even possible? Everything I find is single user.

How are you getting your students excited about reading more e books now that schools are closed?
