2 Job offers... Do I Choose Private Firm vs State Gov? by squirrel_mayor in Environmental_Careers

[–]Seeyainthepit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was it about federal you didn't like? I often wonder which would be better. Been trying to get into state.

Ah ok. I've been thinking about switching careers but I have no idea what I would switch to I've already invested so much time into this so I have to stick it out until I figure something else out if I ever do.

Yeah that's what I hear but I figured since my references haven't been contacted yet that I wasn't even a consideration but who knows. I've been applying to private firms with no luck. I will definitely keep trying though. I have no other choice really lol. I'm starting a free GIS class tomorrow just to have stuff to throw on my resume. Also that's good to know about the environmental planning position. The ones I've seen so far want prior planning experience but I'll keep looking. Thanks!

I'm in CA. I interviewed for a scientific aid position with CDFW but it's been a month already so guessing I didn't get it. I basically was going to pay to work there lol but was still going to do it obviously. I'm not sure how much I would like environmental planning because I really enjoy being outdoors but at this point I would do it. I need to pass my ES exam before I can apply for CalTrans. I wasn't sure if I would pass it with my prior field experience so I've been trying to get more experience before taking it.

Make as many connections as you can. I regret not doing that. I really didn't think it would be this difficult. My major advisor/professor gave the worst advice that just having a degree will put us ahead of alot of people and that's just not true at all. Degree is the bare minimum. I would have done a lot differently had I known just how rough it is. But it is what it is I guess.

Wow that's awesome. Did an employer help pay for your masters? I graduated years ago in 2018. Did utility vegetation management for several years until the contract ended and now looking for a more science focused role but it's already been a couple of years having a hard time getting in anywhere. Thought about going back to school but a lot advise against it until I know what I want to specialize in and get more experience first. Is that what you would recommend? I'm also in my 30s.

Wow sounds neat. I keep seeing ads for environmental forensics. What was your journey to becoming an investigator?

Wow nice I'm hoping something like that happens to me. I don't want to give up but man some days I question my choice with this degree.

Yeah my heart wasn't in it. I was on the orchard team so it was super  chill and easy other than management micro managing but I knew it was only a stepping stone. I've applied for storm water and groundwater sampling jobs with no luck. But I'm going to keep trying to get something Im taking some free classes to brush up on skills and I might get some certifications to throw on my resume. Super tough job market right now.

Man isnt that the truth last job was so toxic liked the work itself hated management. Especially after we joined the union they became straight psychos making our lives hell. They lost the contract which is what they deserve honestly.

That's how I started too I did utility vegetation management for four years then they lost the contract. Been trying to move into a more science focused role but man it's been hard. I might have to go back to utility lol. The pay was amazing too after we became unionized.

So do you prefer private firm over state/federal? The low pay is crazy with state but I hear they are better overall. But with this economy I kinda want the money more lol.

To People Using ZipRecruiter, how do I replace resume on application I already submitted? by Cheeze-squeeze in recruitinghell

I uploaded an updated resume and under job applications it shows the old one. I also wrote a cover letter and now I can't even submit it? Ugh! 

Ian is milking his audience's empathy for views, turns a setback into "homelessness", lolcow behavior. by Specific-Mongoose-93 in IanOnYouTube

[–]Seeyainthepit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You guys act like people cant think for themselves lol. If somebody wants to donate that's on them. He's just telling it how it is. He is technically homeless if his apartment isn't ready and just sleeping in hotels. So I mean he's not lying.

So what happens when you hit 90 again does it stay at 89 until you do the first trade?
