You have an intention of getting job in a sector related to environment and have graduated in a recent time. Then what are you going to do? Approximately 44% employers are going to hire new employees in the next year and 14% of the current employees are willing to retire, but still fresh graduates are going to suffer in getting a new job.

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. While hiring new employees 44% of the employers try to get them through internal relations and another 65% prefer using the method of references as they are they are considered the most effective way of recruitment. So it is pretty much clear that you must have good relation with people who are currently working on environmental sector, but in which way can you make a connection with them? 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. Post-secondary students are offered with a discount by some of the associations.

Canadian Environmental Employment has developed a profile which reflects the importance of internship and co-operative activities to get hired. You can participate in those programs to get better idea about the environmental field and to show your passion for working in this sector even without any long term commitment and in this way employer can decide how you are going to be as an employee. 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. Environmental companies are influenced by these programs to hire interns instead of new employees at a cheap rate and the graduates get more chances for getting employed.

If you are a school going student and willing to get experience before your graduation, you are highly recommended to talk to your career center for getting involved in any co-operative program. 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.

Till now an attractive and well written resume has been enough for you to get hired by a company. Touch of green is needed in your resume to get hired in this sector.
