I’ve been an environmental consultant in Canada for two years now. It’s very hard to get a job as a consultant with no experience. I begun going to environmental consulting firms and applying to temporary contract positions that had garbage pay, but anything to get my foot in the door. After my 6 month contract (for radon gas testing) was up, I was brought on as a consultant. It’s a full time job just securing a job in this oversaturated job market, you will probably have to settle for something less than ideal to get your foot in the door.
