  1. Here is something that might surprise you.

    Open up the AI you use, and type "“Based on my past conversations, can you analyze my behavioral tendencies?”"

    A person at a job interview was recently asked that by HR.

    IMHO: Its another variant of the old "Show us your Facebook" (invasive, inappropriate and likely illegal in civilised countries)

    At the time, my response was "I don't have Facebook", and it was believed as much as your claim "I don't use AI" will likely be in this specific scenario.

    Anyway, type it in, you might be surprised who (the AI) thinks you are.

    N.B. This is another one of those things neo-luddites have no idea about, this #AI capability is only 3-4 months old, reflecting the ever improving capability of #LLM

  4. "Why is this position open?" Ask this in your interview. If the answer is "We are growing," that's good. If the answer is "The last person left," ask why. Did they get promoted? Or did they burn out? The answer tells you everything about the culture.

    #InterviewQuestions #DueDiligence

  5. "Can you start immediately?" Careful. If you say yes, it implies you are desperate or don't respect your current employer's notice period. "I can start after my 2-week notice period to ensure a smooth handover." That shows integrity.

    #InterviewQuestions #Professionalism

  6. "Culture Fit" goes both ways. In an interview, ask: "How do you handle deployments on Fridays?" If they say "We just push it and hope," run. 🏃‍♂️

    That's not a culture; that's chaos.

  8. Winter Reruns: New Survey: Interview Questions “Database” (aka Interview Questions Repository)

    I’m taking time off! I’ll be back with new content in February. Take this survey to share your opinions about what would be most helpful/interesting. While I’m out, I’m running a selection of Hiring Librarians’ greatest hits and most reviled posts.

    This post, which originally ran March 2013, introduces what is probably the most popular and most shared resource from Hiring Librarians, The Interview Questions Repository. This Google spreadsheet gathers questions people have been asked in all sorts of LIS interviews. As of October 2025, 653 interviews have been recorded. The repository was started in March of 2013 (and it kind of tickles me that the video option for “What kind of interview was it?” is “Skype” rather than “Zoom,” “Teams,” or “WebEx”.)

    In 2019 a colleague approached me to see if I’d be willing to add a resource for salary transparency. Even though the blog was shuttered at that point, it was a really good idea and I was happy to add it. You can see salary information for 489 LIS workers (as of October 20025) on the second page of the spreadsheet.

    Hey look, a new survey! (kind-of)

    A few months ago there was a LinkedIn discussion about interview questions, and someone, possibly even me, suggested that it would be a good idea to put together a database where people could share questions they were asked at interviews.**

    Well, here it is.

    You’ll notice that 1) it’s not a database, it’s a spreadsheet and 2) no one has shared any questions yet.  more than 60 people have shared questions! Hopefully you can work with the first and change the second. increase the second.

    Top Tip: Switch the spreadsheet to list view, in order to be able to limit by answers – you can choose to only look at the phone interviews at public libraries, for example.

    If you have recently been interviewed, or if in the future you go on and interview, or even answer some supplemental questions, please go to the

    Library Interview Questions Form,

    and let us know what you were asked.  As it says on the form, please of course conform to any confidentiality agreements your potential employer put in place with you.

    If you are going on an interview, eventually

    the spreadsheet

    will be a place to help you prepare.

    **If I was not the person that had this idea, if you were the person who had this idea, thank you, and I hope this is ok.
