Hello! I'm aware that the job market for librarians/archivists isn't great right now. I'm willing to relocate and/or work part-time to get the job/experience that I need.

As of right now, I have 2 months of volunteer experience in a local archive. I'm going to do some remote volunteer work (as much as I can find/do) so I know those would count as something.

My main question is if my current job at a bookstore would count as experience? We handle customer service as well as doing inventory, stocking, and ordering books. It's obviously not in a library so I wasn't sure if this would be viewed as applicable experience.

Thank you for the feedback!
