When I worked as an environmental consultant , one of my jobs was screening resumes. It is important to know what you want to do when you are applying for a job and to demonstrate that in the letter and the interview. How to Write an Environmental Cover Letter Writing a cover letter that sets you apart can be as simple as just mentioning what type of job you want to apply for in the cover letter.
Most environmental firms have a specialty.
This can be a killer. Find out what it is they do and apply for a job doing that. You are not limiting yourself as you might think. Most of the time, if they have a position open that is close to what you applied for, they will give you a call and offer it. The key is to show them that you know what you're doing.
