PROFESSIONAL OPPORTUNITIES
THIS PAGE WILL BE USED TO COMPILE RESOURCES/SUGGESTIONS FROM GEOGRAPHY STUDENTS ON THE KINDS OF JOBS THAT WOULD BE INTERESTING (SOME EXAMPLES), AND ON HOW TO LOOK FOR PROFESSIONAL OPPORTUNITIES AND SUBMIT STRONG APPLICATIONS (THIS APPLIES TO GRADUATE SCHOOLS AS WELL).
Here are some websites for environmental positions that you can check out-- They are from Jessica Brown. Jessica also sent along a neat message for the "News from Alumni. "

PS. Jess prepared a really nice resume for the Geography Senior Capstone class that you might want to check out--it will be uploaded soon.
Here is an interesting update from Jill Brown (see news from alumni) on the 20/20 option when working for the federal government.
I am always thinking of graduate school and will definitely be accomplishing that goal sometime within the next few years. And I will definitely be using you as a reference! NOAA has some great 20/20 options for full-time federal employees to get their masters and also work while the tuition is completely covered. I think that route would be very desirable. However, I am not a full-time federal employee (yet). Since I am a contractor I am not eligible but NOAA is constantly posting new positions at various levels. In fact, I am going to an interview tomorrow for a full-time Oceanography/Physical Scientist position. If I perform well perhaps the 20/20 program and getting a masters degree is right around the corner! That would be awesome!
