My web site is up and running as of this afternoon! What a labor intensive, yet unbelievably exciting and beneficial, process. The decision to purchase a domain name and a host provider was a good move. I used godaddy.com as my host provider as well. Hopefully I'll be able to use the site as another tool to show potential employers my abilities. My main intention is to keep the site as a tool for myself. I found several helpful and unique sites for young adult reading interests and library programs. There are a few things that I need to tweak still but I will get those taken care of before my web site due date of 7/31.
Things are still moving along for the shift at work. We have shifted over 400 shelves this week, including our awkward and heavy art books. In addition to the shift, recruitment has begun for circulation. We are filling our part-time library assistant II position. We are interviewing a couple candidates next week. I will say that the interviewing process for my current job was one of the most grueling. The length of time (2 hours) and number of people I met during the interview (felt like 20) seemed overwhelming at the time. We are trying to fine-tune our interview questions in hopes of receiving more detailed responses.
I intend to have The Garbage King finished by this weekend and to get a jump start on my theme paper due 8/3. I've received positive feedback about my topic, the struggles of orphans, from my professor. I've read eight novels (which will include The Garbage King) all of which take place and are written by authors outside the U.S.--hence the course title: International literature for children and young adults. Updates on this blog will also be accomplished this weekend.
