Hi all, I managed to beat the deadline knowing if i left it that long i would probably miss it altogether. My report was accepted at the last meeting and I can now proudly put MCLIP after my name (at last.....) I didn't put a seperate section for future development needs but raised ith throughout the report where it was appropriate. It was tempting to cut them out but i remembered my mentors advice on that one. She pointed out that one of the key things they were interested in was showing that you could recognise areas where you need to develop further, as well as learning from experience. Ialso had the problem of several employers. My first post ended up working for 3 different hospital libraries as they were part-time, and when I moved to Stafford the Trust I worked for first collaborated with another truat for library services and then merged joining two library services into one. This all had to be covered in some way. I used the themed approach and tended to give examples from the most appropriate period of service for that topic. You don't have to give a potted history of your career you have to show how you have developed professionally. this does not get you out of including things like organisation charts etc but they can be put in the appendices. I was afraid that these might be a bit big but they were all either relevant and referred to in the report ie a published evaluation or were required such as job descriptions. it took me over 4 years but I did it and I am sure you all can too All the best Fiona Rees --- Jeremy Grayson <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Hi, > > I THINK I'm going to be alright, but I'm having the > same problem of > length as Lesha - and the same wicked intentions re: > stuffing everything > in appendices! > > I wasn't aware that a separate professional issues > section was necessary > (as Angela's mail seems to imply - my apologies if > this is not the > intention).
