One of the most critical elements of achieving a successful career, interviewing with poise and tenacity, is a skill to be learned—and this practical guide leads readers through that process, step by step.In a competitive job market, all candidates need to prepare to succeed. This certainly applies to job seekers looking for professional librarian positions in public, academic, and/or special libraries—especially recent MLIS graduates and mid-career job-changers. Designed for today's competitive job market, this practical guidebook provides job applicants with practical tips and effective strategies for successful interview preparation and execution specific to seeking librarian positions.Unlike generic "how to interview" guides, this book recognizes that there is no "one-size-fits-all" interviewing method and teaches the techniques for excelling at the unique aspects of interviews for specific librarian positions such as reference librarian, electronic resources librarian, outreach librarian, youth services librarian, and adult programming librarian. The book opens with an overview of what is expected during today's librarian interview followed by descriptions by four experienced library directors of what makes an interview truly great. This guidebook includes 100 actual library interview questions to help readers best prepare for the specific position they seek and also contains a chapter that identifies mistakes all rookie librarians should avoid making.

The whole adventure started with a Firestone Tire replica ashtray, created for the New York World s Fair in 1939. Pat Mitchell (who really exists) bought the ashtray at a yard sale. According to Mitchell, engraved into the ashtray s lip was a code pertaining to a fortune in gold bullion. Intrigued, he began to collect these ashtrays and found more codes. He became obsessed. Was Pat crazy, seeing things? He enlists his reluctant grandson, an investigative reporter, to help. Ace Mitchell, Pat s grandson, begins a grand quest for the truth, which takes him from Philadelphia to Clarksburg, West Virginia to Regensburg, Bavaria, Germany. During his investigation, he encounters members of U.S. Intelligence, Der Spinne, a Nazi organization based in South America, and one of Germany s richest men. What will he find: a fortune in gold bullion, hidden by the Jews of Bavaria before the war, or a verification of the delusional obsession of an old man? Ace Mitchell is a story that jumps between pre- and post-war Bavaria and current times. It is a story of greed, murder and hypocrisy. Pat Mitchell s notes are very thorough and reproduced in the book. Could it all be true?
