Why do you use LISNPN?“Mainly for the tweets about job opportunities - also I'm trying to get into the forums more.”
“It helps me to keep in touch with other new professionals and to organise events.”
“Recently used the 'how to' guides to prepare for an interview.”
“Have used it to identify other librarians in my area / sector.”
“Used it for inspiration, to share ideas with others, good practice, tips on careers, job hunting, qualifications, and getting ahead.”
“Forums, especially the one for trainees; resources, especially reviews of courses, and I'm organising a physical meet-up using the events section.”
“Their competition meant I got to go to the New Professionals Conference 2011 ”
“I promote NP events, go on the fora & read the blog & resources”
“For the meet ups, blogs & general info! Love the job notifications on twitter!”
