If you think a repository of questions that people have been asked in library interviews is a useful tool, please help keep it dynamic and relevant by sharing this post with at least one person today. Thanks!
Have you been on a library interview recently? Or are you prepping for one?
Sounds like you could use The Interview Questions Repository!
If you’ve had a library interview recently, help this resource grow by reporting the questions you were asked:

or by sharing this link widely with your friends and colleagues.
If you are about to go on an interview, use the spreadsheet:
http://tinyurl.com/InterviewQuestionsRepository
to help you prepare.
Top tip: Switch the spreadsheet to list view, in order to be able to limit by answers – you can choose to only look at the phone interviews at public libraries, for example.
Bottom tip: For respondents, you should be able to edit your answers, if you think of something to add, etc.
You will also always be able to find these links in the sidebar to your right —>
If you’d like to respond to any other surveys, or otherwise participate in this blog,
will give you links and options.
Thanks for reading, readers! Thanks for contributing, contributors!
