  1. Page - Central Library Interview

    Anonymous Employee in Indianapolis, IN
    Accepted Offer
    Positive Experience
    Easy Interview
    Application

    I applied online. I interviewed at Indianapolis Public Library (Indianapolis, IN)

    Interview

    Asked a lot of customer-service oriented questions (although none of that would actually be used on the job), had to write out the alphabet (not kidding) along with the expected alpha/numerical questions. Had to prompt to get answer on employment and then couldn't start for a couple more weeks because they only do orientation (which was not useful at all) a couple of times a month.
    Interview

    How do you deal with difficult people (but then found out patron interaction was to be minimal & referred to librarians).
