Graduates of the Archives and Records Management specialization
in the MLIS program are highly sought after for both
entry-level and middle-level positions in government,
higher education, museums and cultural organizations,
the corporate world, and many other types of organizations.
Faculty members provide advice about preparing applications
for positions and are available to assist students in
considering various career options in the archives and
records management field. The Society of American
Archivists Student Chapter often hosts workshops and
talks on resume preparing, interviewing, and job searching. Each
year, the School of Information Sciences Alumni Society
hosts a “Professional Development Day” for
MLIS students. This event includes mock interview
and resume review sessions with alumni of the program – people
who are actually in the field and who hire information
professionals!
The University of Pittsburgh’s Career Services
is a terrific resource for students. Advisors
will help you to determine what career options are open
to you, how to prepare your job hunting materials, and
how to network effectively. Visit www.placement.pitt.edu to
learn how to take advantage of the expertise available
to you at Career Services.
