Is Librarian Job Immediately Available After Completing the Training Programme?

[M. Siva Sankari]

Sir/Madam

Many reputed institutions call for library trainee positions for 1 or 2 years. After completing the training from such institutions, is it possible for getting immediate posting as Librarian in any central government organization.

It depends on the trainee position advertised. Most of the times these positions are advertised because of some money left in a project to do a specific task related to the library. Some organisation even include a portion of money in project grants for library activities. If it is a reputed institution and if you are willing to learn and work, it will be a good opportunity. The stamp of working in a good organisation is always an added asset. 

If you are a  good worker and if the organisation gets some new positions they would definitely favour a candidate they know. Lastly no one stops you, if you get a better opportunity to resign the position you are in.
