I thought the librarian’s lecture last week was very interesting. I was surprised by the breadth of her job description, and how different her job is compared to that of a librarian not employed at a university. I was also glad to learn about the many resources available to me both at and through the library. I feel that these will be indispensable as I make my way through college. She also mentioned the library renovations that are currently underway, and I am sure that the new building will be a great place to study. The Career Counseling visit was also very helpful for me. I was not aware that so many resources were available through Career Counseling. I will surely use the resume review service offered there at some point in my college career. Additionally, I plan to take advantage of the graduate school information which is located there if I do in fact decide to pursue further education. Yet another resource that I discovered and am planning to use is the interview preparation service. This seems extremely useful and such a service would make me much more comfortable in an actual interview, in turn making me more likely to get the position which I am interviewing for. We were also informed that GauchoLink is an online database that contains internships, part-time and full-time jobs, and a resume builder. This is an extremely convenient way to search for work as well as internships, and I am sure that I will be using it soon.

  1. Hey Garret! I am glad you picked up some resources at the presentations. I was also surprised by the librarian's presentation and how she traveled and visited libraries all around the world as a child. That is great that you will be using the library as a resource here at UCSB. Maybe I will run into you there one day. As for the career services, I thought it was great how much they had to offer. I will DEFINITELY be stopping by there for their advice. Well I wanna wish you the best of luck in your years here and in your search for a job/internships. See ya!
