Volunteer for Career Services at the SCLA Annual Conference

This year, the SCLA Annual Conference (Oct. 21-23) will be providing career services for librarians, including resume and cover letter review and career consultations. If you have experience hiring or mentoring librarians, or other experience or qualifications that would be useful to our career services, please consider volunteering to help us provide these important services at the conference. We will be offering consultations during all the program sessions of the conference. If you can volunteer a day, a half day, or even one or two sessions, we would appreciate it. You can make a measurable difference in someone’s career just by offering a little bit of your time and advice.

To volunteer, or if you have questions about SCLA’s Career Services, please contact Kevin Reynolds at reynoldsjk@wofford.edu
