[Web4lib] Seeking Advice: Switching Career Paths

[Gillian Wiseman]

Well, this may sound shallow, but if you are worried about not having experience, have you thought about doing volunteer work in the field? Maybe you could redesign a local library's website for them, or find some other project to spend some time and energy on that you can then use as a career promotional tool. 

I know that any number of folks have volunteered at our library over the summers and then found themselves employed come fall. Not in technical areas, but it does work...
