Kathleen Schmidt, Recruiter, LAC:
There are many exciting career opportunities on the vendor side. Sales positions are generally both lucrative and provide a way of using your library skills in a non-traditional way. Content licensing is a very marketable skill set and in high demand. Vendors are always looking for candidates who understand public and academic libraries and can conduct thoughtful needs assessments and give great presentations. Attend library conferences and talk to vendors. See what they are looking for and set up an informational interview.
