We get resumes faxed to us all the time. We're merely one branch library in a larger system. Our library system's website has a page devoted to people looking to be employed by our great institution and how to go about it. So when we get a resume with the following at my humble branch, it's hard to not snicker.
This person seems to be seeking a management position, a position usually filled from within, and if from without, there are targeted ads seeking such employees. And then he notes:
"I am attracted to your organization because it is a fast growing, innovation organization..."
Somehow, those aren't words I normally associate with our century plus organization. We're a library. We are not "fast growing," whatever that could mean for a library. As for innovative, well, we do try to stay on top of the curve, or at least with the curve, but ahead of it? Not so much.
And anyone looking for a job with us who can't be bothered to research where to send the resume, and sends it to a branch that has no control over hiring other than for kids who shelve books, well, sorry, but I'm not forwarding this to the people who do handle hiring.
