	Help out my freind Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

She got her degree in environmental science a couple of years ago

and had only found jobs as a secretary since (she is like 24 or so)

she would like to be doing something better/more interesting

so what are some jobs that she could do?

where should she be applying?

how should she go about looking for a job?

she is pretty down about the whole thing (thinks that she can't find anything but secretarial work)....

I am pretty sure she could find something better...

A couple of suggestions -

NGO work - that can lead to real jobs - there are plenty of environment NGO's.

Paradoxically, government work. You might not start in exactly what you want but its a stepping stone into interesting areas.

Working for politicians - pick one that has an interest in the environment. You might start as a receptionist but most pollies will let their staff branch out if they show talent.

If she gets a law degree she'll never be out of a job - law and environment is a powerful combo

Failing all of that, sleep around a lot.

I used to work with loads of ES majors since I'm a geologist. Many of people with natuaral sciences degrees end up working in the enviromental remediation field since it is a growth industry and with government regulations getting stricter all the time this isn't likely to change.

I typed in "Enviromental Science" in Monster.com for the state of Virginia (I'm not sure where you are located) and came up with 1000 hits. Have her start on Monster.

I have seen her looking for jobs

I honestly think she doesn't know how to look

or the right places to look

or sees jobs and decides that she isn't qualified for them (she complained of this, of not having any experience)

The first thing to do is to take a look at her CV, and see how she interviews for jobs.
