While the job market is still in a tough spot I have come across a few positions that would serve me well to begin my professional career, although none are the ideal full time, local job, they all provide the type and professional level of work I would like to do in a public library setting.
In late February 2010 the Willsonville Public Library posted a part time children's librarian position as show here, in the job announcement, and the job description. Also included are supplemental questions.
In April 2010 Esticada was looking for a Youth Services Coordinator. This position appears to be mainly programing and working with the public as opposed to the collection development role of a librarian, it does require a MLIS or equivalent (yet the pay does not seem to reflect the high level of education needs). Here is the job description, the announcement, and the application.
Later in April Salem posted a senior children's library position. While the job requires more experience than I have, it is a position I would like to end up in after a few years as a children's librarian. Here is the announcement.
In June 2010 Fort Vancouver posted a highly coveted position for a collection development librarian for children's materials. Here is the announcement, and supplemental questions.
I continue to be on the look out for more professional openings in the greater Portland area. I know that we need not limit ourselves to our desired location, hours, or rate of pay for the portfolio, but it's the easiest way to look for jobs at this time.
