   Build Your Resumé

Being a Circulation Assistant is a great way to develop marketable skills that will benefit you long after you graduate from Hope. This isn't "just a college job" – it's a job you can list on your resumé, and you can build valuable relationships with full-time library staff who can serve as professional references when you're applying for post-college jobs and programs. 

Skills you'll develop as a Circulation Assistant include:

• Anticipatory customer service skills
• Accuracy and attention to detail
• Working independently in a self-directed manner
• Problem-solving and troubleshooting 
• Following procedures and enforcing policies
• Written and verbal communication skills
• Multitasking and managing competing priorities
• Calmly managing confrontational situations

 Feel free to use this list of skills when building your resume, and if you'd like a professional reference for a job or college application, contact Allison Van Liere at vanliere@hope.edu.
