Texas Librarians (original) (raw)

I am attempting to fill a part time summer job (20hr/week, $12/hr, flexible hours) at an academic library in Houston doing web maintenance and design for my library's web site (and the potential for a bit of general office computer troubleshooting), and nobody who is qualified for the job has applied. This is driving me crazy, because I really need someone in this position, and unless I fill it soon, the Powers That Be may decide I don't really need it and take away the funding for it. The job is officially a summer-only position, but there is the possibility of it continuing past the summer. I thought I'd post the job here in case anyone is interested in applying. I want to note that hard-core computer geekiness is not required for this position, but web design experience and/or training of some variety is. Here is the position description:

Applicants for this position must be familiar with DreamWeaver, as this position will be required to perform web design and web maintenance tasks. Familiarity with CSS and/or Java a plus, but not required. Applicants will also be expected to have a working knowledge of Microsoft Windows, the latest versions of popular Web browsers (such as Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator and Firefox), and the Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), as well as be able to troubleshoot minor hardware and software problems in the library. Other responsibilities may include general maintenance of the library's computer equipment to ensure its reliable functioning. This can include cleaning mouse, keyboards, and monitor screens, as well as monitoring and installing software updates. Applicants should type at least 40wpm, and be polite, punctual and reliable. Familiarity with libraries a plus.

If you are interested in this job, please e-mail me as soon as possible at byrd_sweet(at)yahoo(dot)com. I will be happy to answer questions or take resumes at that email address. Library students in particular might find this to be an attractive position because of the flexible scheduling and library experience.
