I applied online. I interviewed at Maricopa County Library
Interview
Very easy interview. They gave me a sheet with all of the questions at the beginning of the interview so I could prepare a bit. Standard questions that can be skillfully answered with practice. A knowledge of the website and what the library offers is very helpful. Only one interview and I was offered the job.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Maricopa County Library in May 2010
Interview
Usually 3 people on the interview panel: 1 from branch management, at least 1 from Admin/HR, and 1 could be your next direct supervisor. You will almost always have to do a story time. Questions aren't usually too tricky. They may query you on programming ideas, what you like to read, etc. Important: you will most likely be asked something related to digital downloads: "What was the last thing you downloaded?" "Have you tried hoopla yet?" Be sure you are familiar with the digital download options that we offer. If you are applying for a youth position, be sure to appear enthusiastic regarding outreach, which is regarded as a sacred obligation in this library system.
