Searching for environmental jobs is tough! Competition for environmental jobs is high. Recent grads often compete with seasoned workers for the same jobs, new job titles are invented every day, new industries are emerging all the time. So how does one know how to start out on the right foot? The answer is right here with this workbook. It doesn’t matter if you’re looking for an internship, your first job, or your 5th job; in order to survive the job search, you need an action plan. A good action plan helps you to stay on track, set and meet goals, and identify what actions you should be taking to reduce overwhelm, move you towards your dream job, and fill gaps. This workbook is designed to walk you through all the essential steps towards making a job search action plan that is right for you in fields like biology, habitat restoration, conservation, sustainability, planning, engineering and other environmental related fields. The author, Laura Thorne, AKA The Environmental Career Coach, went after an undergrad degree in Biology on a whim to work outdoors. She then spent 10 years working her way up the ranks in a local government agency where she became the lead GIS, habitat restoration, and grants programs manager. She not only knows what it’s like to job search, she also knows what the hiring managers are looking for. She’s been on the hiring side of the table many times and with different agencies and clients. The sooner you get this workbook, the sooner you’ll be getting that next interview.Testimonials - Laura is such a genuine person and great coach. She is encouraging, a great listener and very thoughtful in her responses. Her enthusiasm for her work really shines through, and she is truly invested in seeing her coachees succeed. If I was a teacher or professor, I would be giving this to every one of my students for their senior year! Your workbook and the mentoring and work you do for environmental professionals is amazing and I can’t thank you enough!
