Your Career in Natural Resources
For those folks involved in Disaster Preparedness, We have posted the Unofficial Oak Run Wildfire Evacuation Guide and Maps. If you live in a rural mountain area this guide could be modified to suit your own community. Become prepared in 2017!
Finding employment in natural resource occupations, conservation, ecology and environmental disciplines can be a challenging adventure. Competition is stiff, even at the entry level. Just like a wolf or a lynx, you'll need endless patience to stalk the perfect job and excellent timing to pounce at the right time. Just like the carnivoires, you may not get a second chance.
We've added a category for disabled job seekers. If you ever get injured, there may be adaptive gear to keep your career on track. Safety is often an overlooked topic, too. Be sure pass the information along.
Yes, good jobs are hard to find. Yes, getting hired can be difficult. But 'hard' and 'difficult' aren't the same as impossible (otherwise salmon wouldn't bother swimming upstream). Get started and don't quit until you've reached your goal.
Site Dynamics
Career Categories are at the left. You should always keep in mind that most environmental jobs websites end up with a mix of listings covering multiple outdoor occupations. I've sorted the links into groups based on the most common types of jobs posted at each web site. You should check related topic categories to do a thorough job search. Bookmark the best sites for frequent visits.
Links are manually checked. However, the web is always changing. Web sites move. Domain holders change. If you follow a link and it's not what you expected to find, please e-mail me with details. Also, if you want to share a great outdoor job link, let me know.
Using Employment Tools
I've included a personal message, for those that are interested. That's one of the 'perks' of running your own web site!
Other topics under Other Stuff will assist you in calculating moving costs help you to find extra training and locate outdoor equipment you may need on the job.
Get started, don't quit! You may be a vegan but you need to hunt like a carnivore when it comes to finding a job. Patience, perseverance and determination do pay off! Even sloths need to work hard to find food, so no excuses! Bees don't sit on the couch and bemoan their fate. Time is short - get moving!
