The Corporate Librarian

It’s not a full-time position, but through networking with former colleagues I got a short assignment to help a company decide on what knowledge management solution they want to use. So that’s why I haven’t posted in a while. I’m presenting my deliverable this week, so perhaps I’ll do a follow-up post on lessons learned.

One advantage about working for 14 years, you’ve got a big network to look to in addition to job placement agencies.

Since I got back from South Africa, I’ve had one interview (through an agency), sent my resume to a few former colleagues and I’ve got a conference call next week to start talking about a company’s knowledge management/research needs (again, through a former employer’s alumni network). Another agency is sending my resume on to a potential employer and wants to know when I’ll be in the state.

I’ll likely be spending the rest of this week doing various unemployment-related things (following up on benefits, outplacement, unemployment insurance) and research on different ways firms organize their research functions.

Anyone have experience with the AIIP? Is it worth joining if my long-term goal is to find work with a firm?
