Resume gap analysis for Librarian

Cataloguing depth is stated, never evidenced

Most Librarian resumes list Cataloguing as a bullet in a skills bar. Job descriptions ask what you built with it. Attach Cataloguing to one project, its scope, and the result.

No numbers against footfall and circulation

Hiring managers for this role scan for footfall and circulation and collection utilisation. A resume without those figures reads as a librarian who was present, not one who moved anything.

Koha listed, SOUL missing

JDs for this role usually pair Koha with SOUL. Naming only one signals partial coverage of the workflow and drops your keyword match.

Classification and Collection development buried under duties

Classification and Collection development are core screening keywords for Librarian openings, but they often sit at the bottom of a paragraph. An ATS weights the first lines of each role far more heavily.

Scope of ownership is unclear

"manage physical and digital library collections" means something different at a 5-person team and a 500-person org. State team size, budget, volume, or user count so the reviewer can place your Digital resource management experience.

Certifications and qualifications not surfaced

B.Lib.Sc, M.Lib.Sc, NET Library Science appear in the preferred section of most Librarian JDs. If you hold one, it belongs near the top, not in a trailing "Others" line.
