Unemployed forestry grad: Upskill, network for green careers.
A 26-year-old forestry graduate, unemployed for 4 years with limited work experience (Amazon TRMS), feels unskilled and anxious. The significant opportunity is to strategically re-enter the workforce, ideally in forestry, environment, or sustainability. This requires identifying and acquiring in-demand technical skills like GIS, data analysis, or environmental compliance software through online courses or certifications. They should leverage their forestry degree knowledge and Amazon TRMS experience (e.g., analytical skills, remote work proficiency) as transferable assets. Actively networking within their preferred fields, considering volunteer work or internships to gain recent experience, and framing the employment gap positively can help overcome current challenges and secure a fulfilling career.
