Rooting for a career in ecology or environmental management? is the fourth edition of the careers booklet from the BES. It has been produced in collaboration with the Institute of Ecological and Environmental Management (IEEM). Written to help people explore the careers possibilities available in ecology and environmental management, it features profiles of people doing a whole range of jobs from ecological consultant to working in the media and PR. Also includes hints and tips for finding and applying for jobs in this highly competitive sector.

If you are exploring the environmental sector as a career option then you might be interested in Environmental Futures, a premier careers event being run by The Careers Group, University of London. If you are already committed to issues of environmentalism and sustainability and are looking to find work within these areas professionally, then don’t miss this prime networking and learning opportunity which involves key players within the sector.
