“I wanted to let you know that FFI offered me the role, and I have accepted. I also got offered a role with the RSPB as well! I wanted to thank you again … I don’t think I would be in the same situation without it!” Rosie Crawley, UK.

“I got the job with WWF! Thanks a lot for everything” – Naomi Terriere, Bulgaria.

“Hello Nick, I just wanted to reach and let you know that I just got hired for an education and outreach position teaching about endemic butterflies at a local conservation area! It’s my first conservation related job (I’m a career switcher). The course has really helped me focus on how I want my future career to look. Thank you for a wonderful program!” Christina Carlton.

“I’ve often resorted to course material and every time I prepared a selection process I did it with more confidence. I actually got my first job in conservation and I’m super happy! It’s been a radical change in my career, I learn so much every day and I’m so happy! I wanted to thank the Conservation Careers team for their wonderful advice and encourage everyone to keep trying.” – María García, May 2021.

“Looks like I’ll be dropping out … but with good reason. I just got offered a year-long contract as a coordinator at an animal rehabilitation centre on Costa Rica, working with Sloths (my favourite animal). Two weeks in and the group already has its first success story!” Matt Roland, USA.

“I can safely say that without this course, I probably would still be working in a pub in Manchester and applying for my dream jobs, unsuccessfully. I now work in one of the most beautiful places in the west of Scotland, get to see amazing wildlife every day and through that teach and inspire people about the importance of conserving our natural world” Kilian Hughes, Scotland.

“When I saw my dream job come up I knew I couldn’t miss my chance! I decided to get the help and advice from Conservation Careers and, guess what, it paid off: I got the job!” Lise Goudeseune, Brussels.

“Conservation Careers has been a great help as I sought to make a career switch into conservation. And the best thing? With the support and encouragement of the Conservation Careers community, I have now found an exciting job in conservation at WWF!” Karen Sim Clerk – Singapore.

“Thanks to Conservation Careers, I am currently working for RiverCare and BeachCare, a Keep Britain Tidy project that supports local volunteer teams to conduct regular river and beach cleans and wildlife surveys. I genuinely love the job and couldn’t be more grateful to you for helping me to get it!!” Catherine Holborn, UK.

“I just wanted to share with you that thanks to the Kick-Starter course … I’ve been offered an internship this summer with the Sea Trust! I don’t want to brag (although I am a little because I’m so happy hahaha) but if I can do it, we all can! I really think what we did on the course made such a difference to my application!” Chloe Naan, UK.

“I am writing to you because I had a direct result because of the Kick-Starter course. I used the training to correct my CV and applied for a job. I quickly had an interview, and I am hired!” Jim Houdkamp, Netherlands.

“Thank you, again, for all your help the last two years, you have really provided me with some great opportunities and I have no doubt this has helped me get into my current role at ZSL.” Emma Ackerley, UK.

“I have been extremely happy with the service that Conservation Careers has provided, and I have already managed to get a job as a result!” Craig Turley – England.

“On Friday I was emailed an offer for a role I had previously failed to apply for. However, this time I was offered the job from among 103 applicants, 13 first interviewees and four second interviewees. Two of which have previously done the same role while I have not. I believe that taking part in this course made me more confident, prepared me for difficult questions such as “why should we hire you over someone who has previous experience in this role”, and helped me articulate my passion for research and transferable skills I have suited for the role.” – Matthew Coates, UK, March 2020.

“I wanted to let you know I have secured a new job in conservation. It was actually my first application after finishing the course. I’m now the bat groups officer with BCT [Bat Conservation Trust]” – Abby Packham.

“Hi Kristi & Nick, Firstly, I want to say many thanks for all the help and advice you have given me over the past year. It has seemed like a long process, but I have now at last got some job options! … Kristi, after the advice you provided on my application around new year, I’ve had 7 interview invites using it as a template (incl. The one you actually commented on) – so an incredible improvement – thanks so much!” – Jerry Aylmer.

“Conservation Careers has undoubtedly been the number one resource in my own job search and it does so within what feels like an inclusive community, which is fantastic, especially when you’re job hunting!” Bryn Morgan – England.

“This was such a great experience! I’ve received high quality advice and support! During my application process I felt as if I have my own team supporting me. Following received guidance I have learned much more than I would on my own. Total recommendation.” Karolina Kass, Edinburgh.

“I could not recommend this service more! Kristi helped me massively – I now understand what I need to improve on in my applications and what employers are looking for. Her advice helped me not only for this specific application but also for future ones. I now feel so much more confident about applying for future jobs and wish I had used this service sooner!” – Charlotte Riddick, UK, August 2021.

“I just finished an interview for a position with Panthera! Not sure if I will get it, but I feel so happy that at least I got to the interview stage 🙂 Thank you Nick and Kristi, with this course I think I improved my motivation letter and CV a lot!” – Nadia Balduccio, 2020.

“Your advice is great, especially to emphasize what I achieved during my positions and study – such a “duh” moment! It gives my CV much more value :)” Stefanie Roy, Australia.
