Professional Panel

"The best piece of career advice I received is..."

If you're interested in hearing how this sentence ends, come out this Thursday to the SLA-TSG Professional Panel!

We have a great line up of local information professionals who are excited to speak to current students about their career path and their passion for alternative or non-traditional library careers! It promises to be a really informative & fun event (with loads of home baked goodies!)

We know it's a busy time of year, but as the term winds to a close, there is also no better time to begin thinking about your summer job opportunities and future career options. This panel will be an excellent networking event!

We look forward to seeing you Thursday!

More Reasons to Get Involved!

As a previous student group member shares:

"While I have since ended up at an Academic Library in a position that I love, the time I spent working with the SLA Toronto Student Group was invaluable. I was fortunate enough to have had a great job working at one of U of T's libraries, but the SLA-TSG gave me the opportunity to gain experience in areas that I wasn't able to participate in at work. During my time in the group I was able to plan events and organize panel sessions for our student body, while also managing the group's Professional Profile series - all of which I do in some capacity in my current position.

I got the job I currently have through the traditional application-based method, but having had the opportunity to network is a skill that I'm really happy to have (although, I will admit I am no expert). It's been key to creating and maintaining relationships with the faculty I work with, my colleagues, and the departments I touch base with as well. It's also put me in touch with a lot of great people in the library world - having just entered the 'working wold,' their help and advice has been a lifesaver."
