Have I mentioned I hate job-hunting?

There's nothing that makes you feel quite so much like a waste of carbon as getting turned down for a library shelver position. I didn't even make the interview.

oh don't feel bad!!!

Our (muneraven & my) daughter had a consuming interest in libraries, spent all her free time at the local library, volunteered at the local library, took an after school high school course in how to work at a library and it STILL took over a year from the time she applied until the time she actually came up on the list for an interview.

For a shelver position.

Maybe it works differently where you live, but those positions are tough to get. Has almost nothing to do with your experience, etc. There's just a lot of interest in them.
