Thu Aug 11 10:21:45 WST 2016

Dear students

Please see below for a fantastic opportunity x 3 at the University of Sydney Library. Libby O'Reilly encourages those approaching graduation to also apply. This is your opportunity to promote your studies, skill sets, work and life experience and incorporate recent placement experience to secure an interview. Last year the library took on 4 trainees, all are now employed, either at the University of Sydney or in the profession. Two trainees were from Sydney and then one from Canberra and one from Melbourne. Trainees are based with Libby in Academic Services, however, areas of interest are taken into consideration and project work/opportunities assigned accordingly. Those who are successful in gaining an interview and unsuccessful in gaining a role are offered feedback.

Good luck!

Kind regards
Bec
