@HiringLib For out of state candidates, what can libraries do to help with the transition to a new community? What platform do you prefer for video interviews? What can interview panels do to put you at ease so you can shine at your interview?

[Amy Seto Forrester @AmySetoWrites]

@HiringLib @adr Agreed! I’ve made that switch on my last two hires and I’ve seen a better pool.

[Amy Seto Forrester @AmySetoWrites]

@AnnaMisboring You should get one now! 🤪

[Amy Seto Forrester @AmySetoWrites]

@DannaStaaf @AnnaMisboring I just read the new YA title by this author (It Sounds Like This) and it was so much fun!

@HiringLib What are things that make virtual interviews more comfortable and relaxing?
How do you like to get feedback after an unsuccessful process?

Another book by Danna Staaf! I have asked her a bunch of questions about squid eggs and baby squid, and she had amazing insights to share. I can’t wait to find out what she has to share about other babies!

[Danna Staaf @DannaStaaf]

My next science book for adults is about...babies!

I'm completely heart-eyed over this cover 😍😍😍 @lazaroillustrat knocked it out of the park--nay, into the stratosphere.

Coming May 2023, available for pre-order now!

The world needs more books by Danna and also more cephalopod books. This is a double whammy of wonderful!

What better way to celebrate #OCTOpusmonth than with a starred review of THE LADY AND THE OCTOPUS?! 👩‍🔬🐙

"[T]his author is as resourceful and ingenious in relating the story of her subject as Jeanne Villepreux-Power was in her scholarly endeavors." 🤩🥳

I got to chat with @KakaniKatija while writing my book about using a submersible to find a giant squid. She was so helpful and kind and I’m so excited for her newest collaborative adventure! Check it out!

@42jwallen @PamMunozRyan The perils of driving while listening to a story that transports you to another place and time 🤣

[Amy Seto Forrester @AmySetoWrites]

@42jwallen I started listening to Echo by @PamMunozRyan on my commute to work once. It was so captivating I missed the turn off to work 3 days in a row and had to stop listening in the car. 😅

[Amy Seto Forrester @AmySetoWrites]

It’s been fascinating to look back at past me’s approach to applying for jobs, interviewing, etc especially now that I get to hire for my own team!

@r_bittner @gallbrary You read whatever you want because covid sucks. Let go of that guilt and pull out the comfort reading, watching, or whatever makes you happy!

[Amy Seto Forrester @AmySetoWrites]

@MelissaZD Also, @alyxcampbell is a pro. I bet she would share some pointers 😉
