Volunteering at conferences is also an option! I got free entry to all three days of the ALIA Information Online conference in Sydney by volunteering to help with registration, giving directions, counting people in rooms etc. I had half each day to work on volunteer stuff and the other half I could wander freely, attend talks or visit vendors. Plus, now I can write the volunteering on my resume.

I got a highly sought-after graduate librarian position at one of the biggest academic libraries in the country! It's an amazing opportunity to learn and get experience... so should I just suck it up and get over myself even though it's made me cry multiple times in four months, triggered self harm and suicidal thoughts, and I learned last week that crying in the toilets is actually an almost weekly occurrence for many of the staff here?...

A good librarian job - Start with a few cups of tea, let your hair down, then get stuck into the scotch.
