Here are some of my favorite resources for green jobseekers - based on where you might be feeling stuck in your journey.   🤝 Lack of network in the industry and endless job applications. - Join climate networking communities like Work on Climate, Climatebase, MCJ Collective, Creatives for Climate for focused networking, expert office hours, and events - Find sustainability professionals offering an open door policy through #opendoorclimate on LinkedIn or the Directory at opendoorclimate.com - Implement the 80/20 rule for applying to jobs - 80% of time spent networking to find people inside organizations of interest, 20% of time on job boards doing applications.

While being a principal investigator (PI) can be the epitome of a "be your own boss" scenario, this plays out differently depending on the overall demands of the institution in which you are housed and how you manage your time and energy professionally and personally. Which type of institution type you end up in, along with ways to navigate advancement, are other critical pieces to the science and conservation career puzzle. Having found "lightning in a bottle" a few times, I have been trying to capture the component elements as we've been building our collaborative team at Remote Ecologist. I have navigated this with a classical tenure-track job, as a research scientist at a private company, a non-profit research and conservation job, and as a non-profit founder at Remote Ecologist. All came with specific challenges for advancement, some of which were inextricable from the success and trajectory of the program at-large. Leadership changes always had the most profound impact on productivity and direction, and how well the team was able to stay committed to the departmental/organizational continuity. Maintaining institutional knowledge, and a daily commitment to small wins, lessened those leadership upheavals. Getting the "lightning in a bottle" scenario has happened a few times for me, but keeping that synergy can be tricky and fleeting. I can boil it down to a few components that were key in these scenarios (by no means is this list exhaustive): Trust Autonomy (With Mentorship/Guidance) Codeveloped Growth Plan and Assessment Clear Institutional Direction and Buy-In From Staff Professional Growth and Networking I talk about this a bit more on Remote Ecologist's blog: https://lnkd.in/egH7arpi
