On “Mon, Mar 12, 2018 at 11:55 AM,”
I received a cool email from an undergrad student I recently just met interested in libraries:
“I was wondering if you’d be interested in answering a few questions via e-mail about your library career so far. I am completing a tutorial on Library Sciences with Tammera, and one of my assignments is to interview library professionals… Let me know if this interests you!”
At first I was like, “hmmm…. I am disinclined to acquiesce to your request.”
As I remembered the last time, I agreed to answer interview questions about my on/off relationship with my boyfriend: MLIS —
A friend and role model of mine runs this very dope site for black grad students, TrynaGrad.com and recently asked me something similar. I volunteered for this, of course— For him: anything.
Bruh.
His questions were deep. — PhD students…*eyerolls* —
I had to reconsider my life multiple times as I was answering them, took meeee… a few weeks to answer.
So, I had a little PTSD.
Still, I remembered the librarian interviews that I have been doing since starting library school and how useful they have been,
so
I acquiesed.
And guess what, y’all?
It was so fun!
If you’re interested, the interview is below:
