I’ve been saying that I want to get out of consulting basically since I started, and that was almost 8 years ago.

I recently started seriously applying to other jobs, and from what I can tell, my options are to either go regulatory (tough competition, not a lot of job openings), environmental compliance (not an exact 1:1 qualifications match which makes interviewing difficult), or just stay in consulting and find a new company and deal with the same bull 💩.

I’ve had a few phone screenings for some environmental compliance positions, but never made it further than that. I also interviewed for a regulatory position and didn’t get it.

My question is, are there any other job titles out there that someone with 8 years of environmental consulting experience (sampling/drilling, project management, writing reports, etc.) could be applying for? Not sure how I feel about going the environmental health & safety (EHS) route, but definitely have submitted some applications.

Just desperate to get out and want to make sure I’m not missing any key job titles that I could be applying for!

Any tips on how to cater a resume towards environmental compliance when you’ve been working in consulting for 7 years?

Started in consulting as every field geologist does (a sample monkey) and the last couple of years have been moving more towards the project management side of things (field coord, reporting, proposals, etc.) and I am DESPERATE to escape the billability and utilization hell.

I’m very intrigued by the compliance side and wondering what aspects/skills of someone who has been in consulting for 7 years should be highlighted or more heavily focused on when it comes to resumes, cover letters, and interviews.
