[Sca-librarians] RE: SCA and job interviews

[Jane Lowry]

I have included it in the past in my "other interests" catagory, but I 
agree; if you can't really justify it, don't put it on. I have justified it 
in interviews because I've run several demos very successfully at past jobs, 
and once I mention the demos, I end up having to explain the SCA etc. etc. 
Also, since my area of collection development includes history, I like to 
point out that even my hobbies relate to history, and research. But don't 
put it on just to "fish" for fellow SCAers. However, if you are interviewing 
somewhere and you don't know much about the city you are interviewing in, I 
certainly would use my SCA contacts to learn as much I could about the city, 
and the library I was interviewing in, 'cause you can be certain the SCAers 
would know the library!
Good luck!
