Also very similar to a previous job post, from a month or so ago, that I posted in entirety on this site.

Philadelphia Product Manager, Web of Knowledge Job - PA, 19019
This blog is intended to capture real-life examples of librarians who have found positions in alternative career paths. It will also be used to recommend job openings found on the web, that are applicable non-traditional library roles. Specifically, I mean positions that utilize our unique combination of skills in information management, customer service, research/reference/information retrieval, and analysis.
