Thank you so much for your videos. I look up to you so much and you are actually one of the few people who helped me concretize my goals in the field of Sustainability. Thank you, Tyanna :3

There is not so much information on the internet and the little I found were so confusing. I am just starting out, and I have started applying for jobs. I am so happy to prepare with some of the quality information I found on your channel. Thank you!

Thanks, Tyanna. I'm trying hard to get into the sustainability industry, and I hope I make it soon. your videos are helping a lot.

[mayrahmuchni]

You don't know how much is this very useful <3 Now the problem is early career job is such a rare sight, most are requesting 5 years of experience

Hey Tyanna.. I have a question. I'm currently pursuing a Bachelor of Interaction Design and am planning to minor in Economics. I came across these ESG/sustainability jobs and I really feel like I wanna work in these jobs in the future! However my degree isn't a direct path into this field :( Do you think the minor can help my chances of getting a job in sustainability straight out of school? Or what else can I do to increase my chances?

[christinelink]

I love your channel and content so much!!! Thank you!!

[winnie]

Thank you for this detail analysis very much, I still figure out what I want to do in the future! It’s so confusing that there’s lots of different sustainable company and position lol

[safiraq]

Thank you so much for the content! I've really been struggling trying to decide whether to change my career path and how to do so, which has caused a lot of stress and anxiety, but your videos and the steps you mentioned really made my view clearer, and your advice is super helpful both mentally and physically!! Thank you so much🥰🥰🥰

[alexandraescobar]

[SrishtiO-kh]

This is really really insightful! Thank you so much :)

[KimchiJen]

I'm also trying to figure out what I want to do in my sustainability career too, and yeah, I agree, it's never easy!

These are great steps though, and you summarized them perfectly. Great job as usual, Tyanna, keep at it! :D

[SuhasKhatokar]

Beautifully crafted steps in detail. Thanks Tyanna. Helped me a lot !!!

[ShaysKhalid]

I love all your content, Tyanna, as it is industry-specific and detailed. I am a Master's student pursuing Global Sustainability Engineering in the UK and will graduate soon. Please share your advice on preparing to secure a role as a Sustainability Consultant. I will be fresher in the industry as my previous experience was as a Senior Mechanical Engineer in Oil & Gas Industry in Saudi Arabia.

Your video mentioned reaching out to people in search for advice so i would like to ask you to help me a bit if that's fine.

Im a high school student residing in India right now and im currently trying to figure out what exactly i want to do in the future.

Last summer i had participated in this competition for which i made a detailed project report on how to turn my school into a green school. I think that really made me realise i would love to go into the field of environment sustainability.

What i loved about my presentation was that i surprisingly really liked figuring out ways to make my school sustainable then later on explaining my vision to eager eyes.

Ive been researching on this field and i think environment consulting is a great job prospect for me. However, since ive just started looking into this i would like to keep my options open.

Unfortunately my school wouldnt be helpful in this since we don't even have a career team.

I would be delighted if you had any advice to give!

[mariannepheeb]

I want to become a sustainability director at hotels or retreat centers. Im trying to figure out if pursuing a BA Sustainability studies with a minor in Biz Admin would open up the most doors for that position.. or... a BS in Hospitality Hotel Management with a minor in Sustainability. A career advisor @ my university was not helpful. & ofc I understand having work experience is key! Would greatly appreciate your input on this! Awesome video. Sending waves of thanks.

[黃馨瑩-ed]

I like your introduction to environmental engineering

[esmevancampen]

is this not just finding a job in general.. how is this specific for sustainable roles/ transitioning. she even uses the example of being a student in college in environmental science
