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.

Join us on Facebook, where you’ll receive updates, can take part in discussions, ask us your questions and share the event with your friends and anyone who you think will be interested in applying to this course: www.careers.lon.ac.uk/facebook/ef

One of this week’s new arrivals is the ENDS Directory 2008, published by Haymarket Professional. It provides a detailed listing of UK environmental consultancies as well as listings related to other environmental services such as waste management and recycling firms. There are some useful introductory articles too, in particular Environmental managers – the next generation  which looks at how the the roles and skills have changed over the years. We’ve also spotted Stopdodo , a newwebsite that is a global portal for environmental jobs and resumes. It includes a Green Jobs Forum  for students to exchange job hunting tips and advice. 
While we’re on the green theme there was an interesting article
recently in New Scientist  - Making the right choices in climate change,
that explored just how much in demand scientists’ skills are in the area of climate change research.
