So, i commiserate with your predicament. <br /><br />Given that you happened to append your question to a Market Research - oriented position, let me suggest that while you are still in grad school, try to find opportunities for course(s) devoted to Market Research. If your university has a Business school in addition to your Information Science school, try to find out if you could enroll in an additional course (summertime maybe) related to your broader field of interest, before you complete the 'academic' phase in your life. Basically, I'm suggesting one way that you can get some additional credibility in the field.<br /><br />In general, I would encourage anyone to take side courses from the Business school at your university, if at all possible.<br /><br />Another thought -- when applying to positions, try to show the breadth of your knowledge and abilities in your resume. You have skills that can be applied in multiple ways, and that should be your emphasis in how you present yourself. Be sure to not emphasize the jargon of the library field. If you think it's appropriate, adapt the jargon of the wider business field, instead. But, do your best to not present yourself as pigeon-holed as a "librarian." Good luck!alt-libhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15419955367465897183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8182466712169318269.post-11922510976734756952012-12-02T08:56:02.703-05:002012-12-02T08:56:02.703-05:00Hello,

All the librarians reading this blog will certainly be familiar with them.
