You may be wondering, why go abroad when you can find a similar job right here at home? Well, sure, you can get a job right where you are, but where’s the challenge and excitement in that? So, let’s check out some benefits a librarian information science job abroad can bring.
Different workplace culture. Working abroad means having the unique experience of discovering different cultures, and not just in terms of food or clothes and language, but behavior, body language and workplace culture. You will quickly learn how to adapt to a different culture and a different work environment. Hey, maybe not all libraries in the world have the silence rule. You won’t know unless you see it yourself.
Different responsibilities. Your job responsibilities will differ depending on the library you work in, as well as your tools and skills. Some libraries put an emphasis on keeping a close eye on the inventory, ensuring that no book goes missing; others are strict about the organizational look of the library; and for others, the library is a silent place to study for students, your job being to ensure a quiet environment . There are also libraries in Europe, America, or Asia that specialize in research or educational support. Whatever path you may choose, you will constantly be learning and improving.
Enjoy a different day on the job and get out of your daily routine. When you work abroad you will become an early riser, because you won’t want to miss all that the country you’re in has to offer. Even though you’ll have a busy schedule with helping people get access to information and gain knowledge, from old historical records to new science research, you’ll still find some time to learn a language and make new friends.
