By George Dodson


You are one of those students who have graduated recently and are willing to join in any company that is working on the sector related to environment. Now what is your plan? Though fresh graduates will be hired by 44% of the total employer in the following year and around 14% of the present employees will be leaving the field, the graduates will find it tough and competitive to get a job.

To get success you have to make the path easier, few tips are assembled here to help you get a job in the sector related to environment for the first time.

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? To become a known face in the environmental industry, you are provided with a great opportunity by the system of networking. Many conferences are taking place throughout the year and these are the places where professionals and non-professionals meet and it is the best way of connecting with them as well as learning new things related to the sector.

Manu associations working on environmental issues can give you an opportunity to get connected to the current professionals in the industry through forum or any other way. You may get an offer with discount from associations if you are a post-secondary student.

From the list prepared by Canadian Environmental Employment it is found that internships and co-operative working have a good impact on the recruiting process. 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 can make connections with professionals once you get experience in this field which is very important and then you can hope for a long term position in this 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. The program inspires companies working in the field of environment to hire new interns at a lower cost and in this way it influence the increment of chance of a graduates being hired.

You can look for co-op programs in your career center to get experience in this field before becoming a graduate. In co-op programs you get the chances of continuing both work and school simultaneously, which is not similar to the internship program.

So far you have been able to get a job only using a very attractive resume. As you are looking for a post in an environmental company you resume should reflect green.
