Getting A Job In Environmental Associations.

By George Dodson


It is not too long you have graduated and you are looking for an environment based job. What are you planning to do next? Getting a job is not going to be easy even though 44% percent of employers are planning to hire new employees for their companies and another 14% of total employees are leaving the field for good.

To make an easier transition, we have grouped together few tips to get employed in the sector of environment.

Research done by Canada's 2010 Profile of Canadian Environmental Employment shows that, new graduates are going to be hired depending on the social network activities and the connections with the present workers. 44% of the employers are more likely to hire employees from internal connections and other 65% like to hire through references available, as these are the most popular and easier way of hiring. Making relations with current employees in the environmental sector is very important and you can easily understand that, but how can you do that? By connecting with others through different type of networking you can make your face known in the environmental sector. As many conferences are being attended by professionals all over the country throughout the year, you can take the chance of meeting them and getting better idea about the sector.

Connecting with professionals is easier when you are involved with any association which works on environmental issues and provided you with a forum so that you can make your own network. Post-secondary students are offered with a discount by some of the associations.

Among the best methods of recruiting which can be found in the profile of Canadian Environmental Employment, internships and similar terms are getting popular. These programs offer you to get more knowledge in this field and help the employers to know your talent and how much active you are without any commitment for long term. You should make connections with professionals once you get experience in this field and then you can look for long term opportunities available in the sector.

ECO Canada also provides few programs related to environment and helps the fresh graduates to make connections with the professionals along with annual payment of around $12,000. This program increases the chances of getting a job as an intern in environmental companies and make the companies think that they have to hire more graduates for betterment of their companies.

You can look for co-op programs in your career center to get experience in this field before becoming a graduate. While interns are not allowed to attend classes in the working hours, a student who is involved in any co-op program can do both of the works and classes.

So far you have been able to get a job only using a very attractive resume. You should make your resume reflect your passion for working in this green sector.
