Test for Librarian Job

Day before yesterday I took a City test for a p-t librarian job. As there is a new library history center going up in the city of Orange. I think I missed a couple of math questions. But there were some very weird questions like "pick out the word in each sentence which makes it not make sense". I've never seen that on a job test. And of course a lot of grammar, punctuation, spelling, filing, and common sense stuff. IF I had to take a typing test I'd pass with flying colors.

IF I passed the test, I'll be called back for an interview. And then the job won't actually begin until after the first of next year

It's a very common exercise on ESL tests, for example. It tests basic editing skills, since you might have to produce written documents.

Good luck on getting to the interview

Saffron............you cannot get a government job unless you are related OR know someone. I doubt you are having sex with a governmnet official.

Good luck, Saffron! Call me an old grump, but I'm glad to see English comprehension/literacy is a part of your job testing. Libraries are cool places...even in the computer age, they're huge resources. They were my haven as a child.

Me too. They set me off on the road to knowledge.
Good luck, Saffy. Hope you get the job.
