What Was My Job?

This is something that can be played a large or small libraries.

We have all had a job - and maybe more - BEFORE we came to work in libraries. Perhaps these previous jobs are easily associated with us, but maybe, possible, probably, they are not.

So collect a list of former jobs - one per person - and then have the rest of the folks in the library try to match job and person. You might get a whole new perspective on your colleagues; or not.

If you are in a small library, you could do this as part of a meeting, maybe for the last 10 minutes or so, by having one person be identified as the "Mystery Guest" and have the rest of the team try to figure out his/her former job through a series of witty and probative questions.

(You could also see how many people remember the show "What's My Line" and the importance of the Mystery Guest.)
