Experience is CRITICAL in wildlifeš¾, conservationšæ, and environmental sciences šcareers. In fact, it is the most important thing you need to do on your career path: get the PROVEN experience that demonstrates to employers that you have what it takes for the job that you want.
But so often people canāt get experience, no matter how hard they try. And then they start to turn to paid internships or travel programs to get some, just ANY experience. But these programs can be costlyš°šø.
In this post, I cover REAL research experiences you can put on your resume that are:
ā
Free
ā
You can do right now ā°
š« Donāt require moving and
š« Donāt require you to quit your day job and volunteer full time
AND maybe you actually donāt need more experience to get the job you want. Maybe you HAVE the experience, but arenāt conveying this on your job applications š, and thatās why you arenāt getting interviews šÆ. This is something I see with SO MANY people, and why I created my new free training: The Four Faw Paws to Breaking into Wildlife and Related Careers.
If you suspect you are making some big mistakes on your job applications (that is, you arenāt getting interviews), commment MISTAKE and Iāll send you the link to my free training.
Next week, Iāll go over whatās worth spending money on šµ in wildlife careers š¦ (what pays off š°) and what doesnāt š« so you donāt go into debt šø
