Ready to give back? Volunteer to be a Reviewer for NMRT’s Resume Review
Service and make a difference in a librarian’s career!
We are seeking librarians with significant experience in human resources, the hiring process or search committees to review resumes & cover letters. This service is sponsored by NMRT to assist all job seekers, especially those new to the profession.
