My old job was posted to FPOW’s website. It’s a Word document, so I’ll just link to the page that lists it rather than cause any link weirdness for my readers.
This is a great job for the right person, the renaissance systems person who wants to work in academic libraries. The department has some stand-out excellent members; the library’s new director starts June 11; there are some great ongoing projects and room to build some of your own. Please share this job position with sharp techies who are smart, dedicated, good multi-taskers, and comfortable with working in academic environments. Tallahassee is a woodsy, attractive university town with more than enough to do and a refreshing cost of living for those of us who have lived in expensive coastal areas.
It wasn’t the right job for me, but that is immaterial. Three months ago, I wrote some friends to ask them, “So what color *is* my parachute?” They returned answers that reflected the silk bubbles of their own careers. The public librarians couldn’t imagine working anywhere else; the educators urged me to teach; the writers insisted I leave time for writing; the academic librarians insisted their jobs were ideal. I take all that to mean I know a lot of people who love what they do. If you love what you do, see yourself in this job description, and want a chance to make a significant difference, then apply for this job.

Someone had emailed about this thread. Wondering there are three jobs posted on the site. Which one was yours? Thanks.
