It’s official! Starting September 1 (or shortly before), I will be gainfully employed.
I’ve accepted a full time librarian position at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. Tentatively, my job will combine reference desk work with virtual reference initiatives and some work on the systems side of things.
I’m excited! A little nervous about moving so far from friends and family, but nothing I can’t deal with. I first visited Huntsville when I attended Space Camp there in high school. Who knew I’d end up living in the city?
My final interview at UAH was earlier this week. Everyone I met there was very friendly, welcoming and helpful.
Now I just have to do that pesky finish-earning-the-degree thing

Awesome! My first library job was at the univeristy of southern mississippi, about an hour away. That part of the US is very pretty! Congrats!
Woo hoo! Congratulations! Best of luck in the new job! People are so nice down there, I’m sure it’ll be a great experience. Hopefully it won’t be so humid by the time you get down there.
Let me be the fourth to offer congratulations.
It’s nice to see someone get a job BEFORE they graduate. Congrats.
Thanks everyone! I’m quite excited.
YAY, go you! Be sure to look up Jonathan if you are ever in Birmingham, he’s a wonderful man.

Congratulations! I am from Tuscaloosa and used to date someone from Huntsville. Nice town. Just be prepared for the heat!
Congrats on coming to Huntsville! I think you’ll love it here. Come downtown to the Main branch of HPL, I’ll show you around!
Congratulations! I echo Greg in saying it’s nice to hear about someone getting a job before they graduate! (I’m still searching)
Awesome. Drawls on dudes are cool! You will be an inspiration to nextgens beginning the job hunt. You should write about your experience leading to the job offer. Good luck.
Congrats on the job! Had a friend who worked in H-ville and loved it. If you ever make it over the the ATL let me know.
