Is Ambrose Quintanilla-Fothergill a real librarian

No. He is invented for this page, and so are Carntyne District Libraries and Rutherglen Central Library. The figures show a shape and describe nobody.

What do library services look for

Use. Visitors, active borrowers, events and attendance are the figures a service manager reports upwards, and a candidate who has moved any of them is speaking the right language.

Is the borrower increase the strongest line

Yes. Active borrowers from 4 200 to 6 100 over three years, with the mechanism named, is the argument for a branch's existence in one sentence.

What did the checker score it

97 out of 100, with one improvement remaining worth 8 points. The document has 179 readable words, and the volume rule's top band opens at 250.

Should cataloguing work stay on a management page

At one line. Nine thousand items catalogued and two collections reclassified says the candidate knows the technical work they are now supervising.

Which design is this rendered in

Research, one of the 37 layouts and not one of the 21 marked ATS-safe. Council applications are usually a form; where an upload is asked for, check the page with the checker first.

A librarian résumé example, in borrowers and events

One complete librarian résumé, written out in full. The person is invented. The reading and the score come from the product itself.

— a busier library is the whole argument.

The librarian example résumé drawn as a complete page in the Research design: name, summary, the roles with their bullet lines, education and a skills row — The example below, drawn by the builder's own renderer in the Research design. The picture was taken by pressing this page's own Use this example door and photographing what the editor rendered.

Library work is judged by whether a building is used, and library résumés rarely say whether it was. This example is written out in full so you can read a page that does, then put through the tools here so you can see what a parser stores. The candidate is invented. Ambrose Quintanilla-Fothergill does not exist, neither service exists, and every figure was chosen to demonstrate a shape.

The example, in full

An invented person. Not a real document, and not yours.

Visitors, borrowers, events

Sixty thousand visitors a year and a collection of 28 000 items. Active borrowers from 4 200 to 6 100 in three years. A hundred and eighty events a year for 3 500 attendees, including forty class visits. Those are the numbers a service manager takes to a committee, and a branch librarian who knows them is a branch librarian who can defend a budget.

The programme is named as the mechanism for the borrower increase, which keeps the claim honest. Borrowers rise for many reasons and attributing the change to a specific programme invites the right question at interview.

Reference work is the professional base

Five thousand enquiries a year across local history and business. Nine thousand items catalogued and two collections reclassified. Sixty digital skills sessions for 400 residents. Those keep the page from reading as pure management, and the digital inclusion line is the part of public library work that has grown fastest.

Six staff and twelve volunteers across six opening days is the operational line. Volunteer coordination is a real skill and it is almost always left out.

What the reading found

The door on this page hands the document to the résumé builder as plain text, through the same import an uploaded file goes through, and the review shows each field beside the line it came from. Here the completeness pass found four readable sections, 105 words of experience evidence and ten distinct skills, with chartership kept as a certification and its year preserved.

The Conxfolio import review after the door opened, showing Ambrose Quintanilla-Fothergill's example read into fields beside the rendered page, with the line saying it is an example — The real import review, opened by this page's own door. It names Ambrose Quintanilla-Fothergill as invented before anything is saved, and it shows every field beside the line it came from.

No language model is used. Every string a reader emits is checked in code to be a span of the document, and a field that fails that check is dropped and counted.

What the checker scored it

The same import review on a 390 pixel phone screen, with the example notice above the accept button — The same door on a phone. Nothing is withheld on the small screen: the notice, the reading and the accept button are all there.

Ninety-seven out of 100, with one improvement remaining worth 8 points. The arithmetic is 100 × 30% + 100 × 30% + 92 × 40% = 97, explained in the article on the score. Seven action-led lines, five of them measurable, seven lines of depth, and 179 readable words against a band opening at 250.

Visitors, members, attendees, sessions and staff are all units the evidence rule reads, which is why a public service page scores as well as a commercial one. The ATS checker shows you the same thing on your own document.

What this example leaves off

No borrower details, no reading recommendations and no personal statement about a love of books. A service manager assumes the last one and is reading for visitors, borrowers, events and whether a budget was held.

Full cataloguing standards lists are left off as well. Cataloguing belongs in the skills row as one entry, and the count of items catalogued says more about the work than the name of the scheme it was catalogued under.

What to change for your own

Change the sector. Academic, school, health, law firm and special collections libraries all use this shape with different users and different measures. Then put in your own visitor, borrower, enquiry and event figures.

Keep chartership with its year. Keep the volunteer line. The guide on certifications covers placement, the design gallery holds 37 layouts, and the research assistant example, the teaching assistant example and the bookkeeper example sit beside this one.

Write yours beside it
