About the role

The Library of Congress invites talented professionals to join a vibrant, collaborative community. Your work will advance access to its vast collections in music, performing arts, photography, and more, serving Congress and the American people. Candidates should have progressively responsible experience in library services, the ability to provide outreach and liaison support, and strong writing and verbal communication skills.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
