CDG Scotland Job Shadowing

On Wednesday I was working with CDG Scotland's Candidate Support Officer to deliver a workshop on Reflective Writing for Chartership and I heard about a new initiative Job Shadowing initative from CDG Scotland that I thought was a great idea. See below for details. Althoug it is aimed at chartership candidates I think it is something that would be beneficial to everyone. 

CDG Scotland Job Shadowing

Worried about demonstrating a knowledge of the wider
professional context in your portfolio?

Want to find out more about different LIS sectors?

A network of professionals in library and information sectors
across Scotland is available to help.

Shadowing a fellow professional in a different sector to your
own gives you the chance to:

• Discuss another LIS sector in your portfolio to demonstrate
your knowledge of the wider professional context
• Consider options for your future career path
• Meet and network with other professionals

If you're interested in shadowing an LIS professional then
please contact cmesser@easlothian.gov.uk with details of your
location and the sector of interest to you and we can check the
database to find a suitable match for you.

We are always interested in expanding our database of
professionals willing to offer the chance for fellow professionals
to shadow them on the job. If you would be interested in
providing this opportunity to fellow professionals or LIS
students then please contact cmesser@eastlQthian.gov.uk for
more information.
