Are you one of the many people interested in a green job who has never taken an in-depth tour of a green building?
That's not an uncommon circumstance.
Field trips aren't easy to come by, but they are important to your career development. They not only provide you with practical insights, but they help you develop relationships with people and companies and agencies that are leading your industry. "It's all in who you know", they say.
Field trips provide you with quality in face to face relationships -- not only with the tour guide, but with the fellow members of your exploration group.
Keep track of your field trips. Create a journal. Keep track of the people you meet. You might want to send them occasional notes about upcoming field trips -- since you have that in common. And you can develop them as valued contacts in your career. You can also serve as a valuable contact for THEM.
Trade associations, advocacy nonprofits, and even government agencies arrange field trips. As well as suppliers.
Ask around. Find the right field trips that meet your career ladder needs -- and you have that mapped out on your career mindmap, right?
Enjoy the adventure! Learn lots! Meet nice people! Stay in touch!
