Interview Process!

 So I am going through my first Academic librarian position process. I applied for the Information Services Librarian position. I had my phone interview which went ok.... not great :) as I am afraid of phones and I know I was flustered and could have answered better, but I think it went well. Now my on campus interview went much better! I created a LibGuide and presented on that, the Dean of Business and Technology was there and was impressed with the LibGuide :) I made it through the hour interview with the Committee members. I feel that I answered well and asked questions that really helped understand the job and university a bit more. Now the interview with main director was very nice! :) The interview was ITV'd, the director came on, he asked me if I had any questions. I asked, and we chatted for 10 minutes and it was over!. And now the waiting!...hopefully I hear something soon. *fingers crossed*

Cell Biology students are tough!!

So today I was let loose to teach most of the BI by myself, with the other librarian(s) only covering a small portion. I had two Cell Biology classes today, and I have survived and getting better :) The morning class, I forgot to cover a lot of things so the session was much shorter. But the evening class was longer. I remembered more things, and the information stayed in my head :) Tom Rink was right, the more practice you get the better you'll be. I am not as nervous as I used to be. Though for the morning one, a coworker and I did have to turn some mortal kombat music on and dance (thats what relaxes me) and then we went for a walk outside. 

But overall, I am satisfied with the sessions and how far I have come from when I first started having to teach instructional classes.
