This blog will help you in understanding the following factors that go into creating the perfect library resume:
What is a Librarian Resume & why do you need it?
[ Back to Table of Content ] Your library resume is the source through which you can introduce yourself to the recruiters. Hence, you must make the best first impression.
Just as a library is one of the many sources of collected information and similar resources, your academic librarian resume should contain all the information required by the recruiters to know that you are eligible for a target job.
Most of the recruiters use the ATS (Applicant Tracking System) to filter the resumes that floods into their radar. It makes their job easier and convenient.
The task at hand is to impress the recruiter with your most efficient skills and professional experience by highlighting them and justifying them simultaneously.
You can rank high on the ATS by using the keywords that have been used by the recruiter in describing the targeted job.
Hitation's Online Builder can help you pick out the most significant keywords to make your librarian resume rank high on the ATS to help raise your chances of being shortlisted.
Read our 2022 tips for do's and don'ts on a resume to help you write a flawless resume.
Librarian Resume Sections
[ Back to Table of Content ]
Your librarian resume should have the following standard sections to elaborate on every specific factor as per the requirement of the targeted job:
- Personal Information
- Profile Title
- Professional Experience
Given below is the list of optional sections which can be framed as per the requirement of the targeted job to add value to your professional experience and educational qualification:
- Certifications (if any)
- Awards & Recognition (if any)
- Volunteering Experience (if any)
- Additional Information (if any)
For more details on this section, you can read our 2022 Guide to writing resume sections and enhance your library resume with assistance from experts at Hiration.
How to write your Librarian Resume
There are three steps that you need to follow religiously for curating your perfect library resume most effectively:
Master Librarian Resume
First draft of librarian resume.
- Final Draft of Librarian Resume
Start by creating a master resume wherein you write down all the necessary details that are possibly required on a resume.
Add your work experience and educational qualification along with your personal information.
Doing so is important because this master draft is not only for the present time-line but also for any future update of your librarian resume.
This also saves you time and the struggle of gathering scattered pieces of information while framing your library resume.
Hence, it is a wise thing to create a master librarian resume and list out all your information.
Do not stress over any information that you are not sure or clear about because it is not only limited to the present time-line but it can be used in any of the future updates of your library resume.
After your master draft is done, you should create your first draft of your library resume.
Here, you need to curate the following standard and optional sections:
Make sure to fill every required section professionally because it can help you outshine other applicants and bring forth your most effective potential on your librarian resume to impress the recruiters into shortlisting you.
Final draft of Librarian Resume
Your final task is to create the following sections:
Key skills: This section should be the 2nd last thing to be composed because you need to scan through your professional experience section and pick out the most effective keywords and highlight them in this section.
Summary/Objective: The last thing that needs to be composed is a summary or an objective because it is an overall accumulation of where you stand and what you possess either as an entry-level or a professional applicant.
You can read our 2022 Guide on how to write a resume to learn more about librarian resume writing.
Librarian Resume: Header
Your header can retain the unique identity of your library resume if you write your name as the header.
Writing "CV" or "Resume" is not needed because it is understood by the recruiters without you having to mention that on your librarian resume.
On the other hand, writing your name as the header can retain your individuality and make it easier for the recruiter to keep track of your library resume.
Use the largest font size of 16-20 to write your name and in case you have a middle name, use only the initial followed by a period.
Example: Gabriel Sylvia Moore should be written as "Gabriel S. Moore".
Here is our librarian resume examples for you to have a better understanding of how this section is ideally framed on a resume:
Read Hiration's 2022 Guide on writing resume header to write your name that looks professional and gives your library resume a unique identity.
You can directly go to our Online Resume Builder and pick the most suitable pre-filled librarian resume template to replace them with your suitable details for your perfect librarian resume:
Librarian Resume: Personal Information
Now, if the recruiters have to contact you in case you achieve a shortlist or an interview, they may generally require your following personal pieces of information:
Contact Number
E-mail address.
Always provide your active contact number so that the recruiters can get to you in case you get shortlisted.
They may also want to get in touch with you to schedule your interview by verbally confirming or they may want to have an over the phone interview.
In any case, there is no excuse for you to make any careless mistake while giving out your contact number.
All you have to do is, give your country’s ISD code as a prefix before your phone number and a plus sign (+) before the ISD code.
Example: +1 53628 54829
For most recruiters, an email is the most professional source of getting in touch with you.
But is your email ID professional enough?
Well, you cannot by any means give out an email ID that has fancy and childish names like [email protected] or [email protected] .
Fancy email IDs can ruin your reputation as a professional applicant because the recruiters may assume that you are not serious enough with your career.
Always put your professional foot forward by creating an email ID that has your real name (example: [email protected] ).
Make sure that you always create a proper email ID for official purposes.
Always provide your current location and avoid giving out your full home address or your present/previous work address.
If you are looking for a job in your own country, you simply have to mention the city and state you are residing in.
But if you are looking for a job in another country, you can simply mention the name of the city and country you are residing in.
Look at our sample librarian resume to visually understand how an ideal personal information section is framed:
Also, read our 2022 Guide to writing personal information as it can help you have a better understanding of framing this section.
Librarian Resume: Profile Title
Use the 2nd largest font size of 14-16 in your library resume to mention your most recent job title as your profile title.
It gives the recruiters an insight into the level of your professional status in your previous or current profession.
This helps the recruiters in shortlisting you according to your professional level, keeping in mind your specific interest in various industries and organizations.
You can write your ideal profile title as given below in our librarian resume sample:
In case you have an existing resume, you can get it reviewed for free by experts at Hiration's Online Resume Review Service.
Librarian Resume: Professional Experience
There are three important factors that you need to keep in mind and follow while framing your professional experience section.
STAR Format
Framing points, bucketing & bolding.
Keep reading to thoroughly understand the importance of these three mentioned factors as it can help you in curating the perfect librarian resume to raise your chance of being shortlisted by recruiters and even land the targeted job.
STAR stands for the following points:
Situation: To describe your contributions towards your previous workplace and the situation you found yourself in. Task: To describe all the task that was assigned to you as part of your job Action: To describe what strategies you used and how you handled or performed the task given to you Result: To describe the results of your action towards an assigned task in any given situation
The main idea of applying the STAR format in your librarian resume is to create a cause-effect relationship between your skills and professional experience.
Using STAR format can elaborate your ability to execute any task assigned to you and hence make the recruiters see your caliber as an efficient applicant.
Write figures of the number to boost your library resume and highlight your specific achievements and contributions wherever possible.
Framing points simple means using bullet points to list out your statements.
Evaluate the librarian resume examples to analyze how framing points can enhance your resume for librarian assistant:
During my role as a librarian in my previous organization, I succeeded in the evaluation of 3k+ books and other materials to determine any outdated materials or unused items. I have also compiled 60+ new books and audiovisual materials on various subjects within only 3 months. As part of my job, I recorded daily updates for 200+ users about their due date to return any borrowed materials and also aided the users with index databases to improve the speed in retrieving any data that was required.

Librarian Resume Framing points: Analysis
By comparing the librarian resume examples, we can state the obvious that framing points (example 2) are more readable than the paragraph (example 1).
Both the library resume examples are stating the same things.
But what we find here is that example 2 is more readable whereas example 1 is bulky and lengthy.
The recruiters may not possibly spend more than 6 mere seconds to analyze your statements, hence it is more convenient when the points are framed.
Bulky paragraphs may bore the recruiters and you may miss the chance of making the recruiters see your efficiency as a suitable applicant.
Do not write bulky paragraphs (example 1)to avoid being rejected by the recruiters. Instead, frame your points (example 2) if you want the recruiters to go through your librarian resume and raise the chance of being shortlisted.
This is another important factor that you should apply while framing your resume for librarian assistant.
Given below are two library resume examples that can make you understand the importance of bucketing and bolding your one-liners in your professional experience section.
Classified books collections & other reference materials for 100% convenient access Categorized library materials based on the subject matter via standard library systems Demonstrated use of library services to 50+ users by providing library policies Delivered client-centered programs & services for 80+ corporate clients till date Supervised & trained 20+ staff till date in shelving & cataloging of the library Monitored 5+ assistants in entering valid information & materials descriptions

Librarian Resume Bucketing & Bolding: Analysis
Both the two given library resume examples are framed but example 2 is more specific as it contains unique subheadings (Bucketing) wherein specific roles and achievements are stated.
Framing alone (example 1) is not enough because it is just a list of one-liners without any distinction between the different roles and achievements.
Bolding your most significant contribution and achievements highlight your efficiency and enhances your eligibility as a suitable applicant.
Bucketing & bolding make your one-liners more specific and organized which raises your chance of being shortlisted by the recruiters.
Always use bucketing & bolding to organize your one-liners and highlight your most efficient skills to make your library resume stand out.
You can look at our sample librarian resume for a better understanding of how you can frame your professional experience section:

Librarian Resume: Education
Your educational qualification may be a positive factor in influencing the recruiter.
Some job profile requires specific educational qualification whereas some may not strictly require you to have any specific qualification.
Mentioning your scholastic status can help enhance your professional experience and potential as an efficient applicant.
The following details are required to be filled in your education section:
- Name of the school/university you have attended
- Name of the course/courses you have pursued
- Location of your school/university
- Date of enrollment and graduation from each course (month & year)

Librarian Resume: Certifications

It gives you the advantage of coming out as an applicant who is serious about one's career that you went to the extent of getting certified for the targeted job.
Thus, as a general rule, you should make a separate certifications section in your public librarian resume to document the important sections of your certifications.
Here is the list of the details that should be written in the certificate section of your librarian resume:
- Name of the Certification Course
- Name of the Affiliating Institution
- Location of the Institute

{Name of certification} | {Affiliating Institution} | {Location} | {Date} (in month and year format)

Librarian Resume: Additional Information
Your additional information refers to your hobby/hobbies or any other language that you can speak/write which you can apply in your targeted job.
It adds value to your professional status and educational qualification as long as it is relevant to the job you are applying for.
For instance, being a librarian who speaks more than one language (English) can help you communicate with people who speak other languages which is beneficial because communication enhances customer relations.

What are your colleagues talking about?
Best part-time job i have had to date.
flexible schedule, solitary work, easy-going environment, chances to move up, some weekends off
working at night (until 9pm), problematic patrons, occasional poor communication
Great Work Environment
Great coworkers! Large library that strives to be inclusive and provide many resources to the community. Patrons are for the most part extremly kind and happy for your help (compared to say a food service or retail job). A relatively low stress part-time job if in school. Flexible hours overall. A team that works with your needs. I enjoy going to work! You can't say that often about a job.
The tradeoff is the pay/limited hours. You might have to work a second job depending on your situation and financial needs.
This is a great place to work
I have very few cons and none I wish to list
