Ever wonder how to become a librarian? What they do all day? Whether they're judging you for your inept reference skills? Anna answers all in this week's Dossier post from "About a Job." readaboutajob.com/single-pos… #libraryjobs #librarians #workwithbooks
Looking for examples of #women "geniuses" who had a drastic effect on how we live our daily lives. Do not have to be household names, but must have had a great affect on the course of human history (preferably post 1850). #STEM #STEAM #ChangeTheWorld #womenwhowork #Feminism

Question for the twitterverse (please rt!): Are there any boards/forums out there where people discuss how to choose a career? I'm not talking about industry-specific places. Instead, I mean places that attract a variety of "trying to figure it out" type-individuals.

Does anyone know a cool, passionate, or insightful librarian? I think the blog needs a librarian interview.

So one way that I do recon for future interviews and blog posts is to follow different twitter communities. I need suggestions! What interesting communities are you following? These can be related to ANY job, field, or industry.

As a shark lover, I’m obligated to retweet this. Also this is your casual reminder that you could’ve been a marine biologist. *wistful sigh* 🦈 teapawt.org/whysharksmatter/status…
Apropos of nothing in particular, here's a thread about why sharks are not terrifying, why they're important, why humans are better off with healthy shark populations than without them, why you should not want them to all die, and how you can help prevent that from happening.

Just finished @flashforwardpod's episode on the future of telepathy, and it has me thinking about how telepathy would affect work. (If this thread interests you AT ALL, I highly recommend listing to @roseveleth's podcast. It's comprehensive, well-research, and so cool.)

Wasting my Wednesday thinking about jobs in the #StarWars universe. All the custodians who used to clean up after ungrateful Jedi padawans. The Jawa teenager who desperately wants to do something other than scavenge. Which selection criteria Maz uses to hire a new bartender...

Here's to hoping #2018 will be more motivating and less anxious. Unless your anxiety is motivational; in which case, you do you. #HappyNewYear

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays, especially to those feeling lonely, isolated, or down. It can be hard to scroll through other people's pictures of joy on days like these. I get it. I've been there many times. Do something nice for you today.

When I was a kid, I planned to be an egyptologist or marine biologist. I ended up studying #IOPsych and blogging. What about you? #careermonth #thinkingaboutwork #childhoodmemories

Today is the 80th birthday of Valentina Tereshkova, first woman in space. She spent 3 days in orbit as pilot of Vostok 6 in June 1963.
