Our certified resume writers have created library and museum resume examples to show you how to write, format and design your own. When you are ready to write your resume, use our Resume Builder, which offers pre-written text suggestions unique to library and museum science for every section of your resume.
Here are some examples of industry-specific content our builder might recommend:
Employers often use an applicant tracking system, or ATS, to weed out unqualified candidates. ATS software sorts through resumes in search of specific phrases, and resumes without the desired keywords are removed from consideration right off the bat.
Because jobs at libraries and museums can be so diverse, it is difficult to predict what an employer wants. You can save time by relying on our expert resume writers who know how to describe your skills in ATS-friendly terms that are appropriate to this dynamic industry.
Here are some skills that LiveCareer’s Resume Builder might suggest for your resume:
Library Volunteer
Competition is often high for library roles, even for volunteer positions. A functional resume format like this one can keep your application at the top of the stack by highlighting your transferable skills over your limited work experience. The design template uses a bit of color to catch the eye, but the document is otherwise clean and uncluttered, making it easy to scan. Build my Resume
