I'm one class and two incompletes shy of finishing my MLS at a well-respected, public midwestern university. I have plenty of professional experience accumulated along the way, too -- it will have taken me about six years of part-time work to get my degree, but I worked as a special collections library assistant, reference librarian, and doing cataloging throughout this entire period. My question is about employment. I'm desperate to get out of the midwest. Will I be best off applying to jobs from afar, in say, Boston, NYC, LA, Seattle, etc., and then go through the hiring process? Or should I save some money and relocate to a chosen city, with the intent on working at finding a job 'locally'?

Despite my neurotic posting a couple weeks back, I'm happy to report I received - and accepted - a job offer for a position squarely in my (very narrow) field. (Rare books / special collections and Eastern European studies.) In the event anyone else is looking into RBMS librarianship, I can't stress enough the utility of a couple additional languages. Not even fluency, just a rudimentary grasp will assist you in so many ways. I have one class left to finish my MLS and will be doing it in spring or summer 2015.
