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.

Follow by Email
Blogger has added a follow by email gadget, so I'm adding it to my blogs. Over there, in the sidebar. I don't know how many people prefer filling up their email inbox with blog posts rather than read the posts via a feed reader, but still, just in case, and because it's a simple little thing, here goes.

My New Favorite Error Screen
This is the screen that came up when Tumblr had some downtime today. I should try to collect these error screens. Much fun!

Changes are Coming
Blogger's got some changes in the air. The redesign of the dashboard looks nice, as does the new post editor. I can't wait! What about you? If you use Blogger, are you looking forward to this?
