[QUOTE="Cthulhu's Librarian, post: 2477979, member: 11064"] Hmm. I've got a few thoughts on this: 1. People in the library system I work at jump around all the time from library to library, so I don't see the problem with it from that perspective. 2. You have only been in your current job for 3 months, in the same library system. You haven't been there long enough to have much of a background when they check references, and are probably still under the probationary period. That's bad, because they can let you go without having to give any reason. 3. You'll be leaving at the beginning of the fall semester. That's REALLY bad, and will piss off not just your supervisor, but anyone else that is depending on you to be there when classes start again. That will mean that they will have to work extra hours, scramble to cover the hours that they had planned for you, and will probably not forget that you dumped them at a critical time. If I were you, I'd wait and see what opens up in a few months. They can't blame you for wanting a full time job, but they will be much happier if you were to look at a time when things were not as busy as the beginning of the fall semester. Sounds like the money isn't your biggest concern right now, so I'd stick it out until at least 6 months, if not until next summer, then start looking. But keep your eyes and ears open, and make sure your boss knows that you are interested in a full time position. Maybe they have something coming open in the near future that you can be considered for. [/QUOTE]
