Resume Checker for Librarians

Library positions at public systems, universities, and government agencies are filtered through ATS. The MLS/MLIS credential is a binary requirement, and ILS platform experience is system-specific. Common librarian resume issues: • "Library experience" without naming the ILS platform (Sierra, Koha, Alma, Evergreen) • Missing MLS/MLIS degree mention — ALA-accredited master's is a near-universal requirement • No programme or outreach metrics — attendance, sessions, and community impact quantify value • Cataloguing standards absent (MARC, RDA, Dublin Core) for technical services roles
