CILIP President Jan Parry on Career Planning and Advocacy
In this presentation, Jan Parry will talk briefly about her career and give hints and tips on having a career plan, progression and promotion, how to sell yourself and how to review yourself while making sure you own your career.
Jan began her library & information career in the Nuclear Installations Inspectorate library at the Health & Safety Executive, Bootle. After qualifying with a degree in Librarianship & Information Management she then moved to the Department of Health library in London.
After managing two libraries (one Ministerial and one Medical & Social Services) she experienced top level Government work by working directly for Government Ministers. In 1997 she was key to the implementation of a Whitehall-wide ministerial briefing system. After moving to the Home Office in 2001, she worked on various programmes e.g. Home Office Reform, the Tackling Gangs programme, and, as Business Change Manager, evolving the Home Office Library to an Information Centre.
In 2009 she became the only information professional on the Hillsborough Independent Panel's Secretariat where she traced all the bereaved families of the 96 who died, and planned the Panel disclosure at Liverpool Cathedral. The results of the Panel's work showed how information can be used to discover the truth.
