Dear Fellow Eco-loggers, I am desperately seeking advice. I am a recent graduate (degree in ecology and conservation biology with a minor in wildlife) who participated in campus clubs, volunteered, worked as a biology lab TA, ran my own research project, and maintained a decent GPA. I am trying to make my big break into the "real world" and have found it to be harsh and full of rejection. I am trying to work towards a non-profit management position and am unsure how to further my progress. My thought is to go into a non-profit management masters program, however I would like to get more career experience first. Therefore, I am asking the skilled professionals of the eco-log world to give me their best advice on what kind of job I should be looking for now. As well as any suggestions for making a resume and cover letter that would make you want to hire someone. Someone online videos suggest making them visually different by adding a picture or color and I felt that seemed unprofessional. How does a recent graduate like myself make it through the minefield of the job market into landing an interview and hopefully a meaningful job?
Sincerely, A stressed graduate Any much appreciated responses can be sent to [email protected]. Thank you very much for your time and consideration. ?
