Librarian Resume Template

A resume for a librarian position should respond to the requirements in the job description. The qualifications for a children's librarian may differ from a reference librarian position. Most full librarian positions and even some library assistant jobs require degrees in information or library science. If you do not meet these requirements, you may want to consider a job in circulation services to determine whether you want to pursue these credentials. Compare resumes for specific types of library positions to find the right template.

If you are applying for a job at a primary or secondary school, you may need to specialize in library science as well as childhood development or literacy.

Some library systems even hire subject-specific research librarians to help postsecondary students with research, essay writing, and proper citation.
